Columbus, OH — A look ahead at the first leg of the Pacing Triple Crown, the Cane Pace, highlights this week’s edition of “Eye on Harness Racing,” the U.S. Trotting Association’s weekly online video news magazine, sponsored by TrackMaster.

In addition, a look back at the Zweig Memorial trots and a Canadian record in the Canadian Pacing Derby eliminations will be part of the program.

TrackMaster is once again the sponsor of Eye on Harness Racing. Trackmaster, along with TVG and the USTA would like to announce the $5,000 “Big 5” Harness Handicapping Challenge.

Free to enter and free to play, there will be five weekly chances to participate — every Saturday from Aug. 10 thru Sept. 7. Five finalists advance each week by making five picks from any of five featured tracks. Trackmaster will be providing free programs and handicapping data to contest participants and with more than $5,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs in the finals on Sept. 14, you don’t want to miss it! Visit www.trackmaster.com/contest to register and find out more.
