Twice monthly until April, a familiar Woodbine Mohawk Park horse person will step into the spotlight to answer a handful of fun, offbeat questions, while giving readers a unique perspective into their personality on and off the racetrack.

Here is the 2023 winter training roster for Spring Garden Ranch in DeLeon Springs, Fla.

It has been announced by harness racing’s Kountry Lane Standardbreds, LLC of Indiana, that the 2019  Horse of the Year, Shartin N (Tintin In America), will be bred in 2023 to Capt Midnight (Captaintreacherous-It Was Fascination).

Semi Tough began his 7-year-old campaign with a 1:53.1 win in the featured $40,000 Open Handicap Pace on Monday night (Jan. 16) at Yonkers Raceway as its 2023 meet got underway.

A pair of $13,000 Open I Handicaps — one on the pace and one on the trot — topped a solid and bettable card at Batavia Downs on Monday afternoon (Jan. 16) and those races produced another stout handle as a result.

Winneress lived up to his name Saturday (Jan. 14) at Freehold as he claimed his first victory of the year in the American Harness Drivers Club trot. Piloted by his owner Anthony Verruso, the duo took advantage of an early speed duel to help overcome his outside post.

Brookview Bullet fired his best shot in the $27,000 Open Handicap at Miami Valley on Sunday (Jan. 15), winning in 1:50.2.
