WASHINGTON, PA, June 23, 2023 — In harness racing, it’s common for freshmen to improve for their 3-year-old seasons. That having been said, the development of Lillehammer Hall (Andover Hall-Contender Hanover) remains remarkable.

WASHINGTON, PA, June 17, 2022 — Harness racing trainer Chris Beaver doesn’t actually own the Currier & Ives — it just seems that way because of his uncommon success in the stake. He won it last year with Perron and in 2017 with Fraser Ridge. In 2009, Triumphant Caviar captured a heat for Beaver while […]
