Smyrna, DE — The weekend of the summer solstice saw Grand Circuit races on Friday (June 20) at Yonkers with two eliminations for the MGM Messenger. Five entered the Yonkers Trot, so no elimination was required. On Saturday (June 21), we crossed the river and for the longest day of light there were two Graduate legs. They were thrillers reminiscent of the old free-for-all races of the 1950s and ’60s.
Next weekend, things will really heat up with events to the West, north of the border, and back at Yonkers starting on Thursday and ending with the Saturday events at the Meadowlands.
