Last week’s ‘flashback’ blog had me thinking about where and when I first remember seeing old harness racing programs and taking a huge interest in browsing through them. It would be almost 40 years ago where I’d be on the road with my aunt Sadie and late cousin Steve . Sadie had made a stop in town and while Steve and I waited for her in the car – we opened up the glove box to find a few old race programs rolled up – likely stashed away there by my late uncle, Ed Doyle. I remember looking though them – saying the names of the horses and drivers – what a find! – while Steve couldn’t quite understand my excitement.
