90 Days: Friday, October 25 (Day No. 20)

 








(This is the time of year when the horse racing season for the Ivory Pine Syndicate is winding down, but the soccer season for the Rosevelt Soccer Club is gearing up. Here's a 90-day glimpse of the day in the life of a horse racing managing partner and soccer club administrator.)

Awoke, 4:47a

Worked at Westbrook High School, 7:30a-2:30p

Watched Breeders Crown races, 8p-9:30p

The biggest weekend in harness racing every year is the Breeders Crown.

It's a two-day event that features the best pacers and trotters in the country in every division of races, and Friday's races showcase this year's best 2-year-old pacers and trotters.

We're a long way from competing in this event, but horse racing in an open sport. That means the barriers to entry are relatively low compared to other American sports, and the opportunity to compete at the highest level of the sport is more accessible to more folks.
