Every Saturday night before Fathers Day, my wife and I would journey to Rosecroft for a night of Harness Racing. For me the “Sulkys” go all the way back to Laurel Harness Racing on Route 1. Also known as Free State Raceway, there was nothing like watching the horse you bet go off stride or get parked. Every race seemed to have a horse named Hanover. Alvin and Winston Lineaweaver were the leading drivers for years. All of that tradition and history is now gone as the last harness track in the area Rosecroft, shut the doors Saturday night.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, last Tuesday ended a 12 year run for ESPN Zone. Citing a downturn in business resulting from the economy, the home for so many local sports events shut its doors as well. Wow not a great week.
