Quote, Unquote: Frank A. Wrensch

"It is Hambletonian Day, the day when the eyes of the vast world of horse lovers are focussed (sic) on the Hambletonian Stake race, the great classic for three-year-old Standardbred trotters.

What the Grand National at Aintree is to steeplechasing; what the Kentucky Derby is to Thoroughbred racing; what the World Series is to baseball, the Hambletonian is to harness racing."
