RUS America Trot at Roseroft rescheduled for Nov. 17
What a difference two days makes. When the entry box opened for the planned Nov. 15 RUS event at Rosecroft, only two horses were in the box so the race was postponed, to be contested in the spring. However, the riders were not to be denied so the race was carried over to Nov. 17 and lo and behold, the number of entries doubled to four. Not a full field, but a quartet of horses, of which three look able to challenge for the winner’s share of the $5,000 purse in this non-wagering event.
