Wrapping Up Another Season

Another harness racing season wraps up at Dresden Raceway today.

Dresden Agricultural Society president Lucille Laprise says one of their biggest obstacles was something out of their control.

"The weather has always been a challenge for us, it seems like it wants to rain every Sunday," says Laprise, adding they also had a good number of racers. "Horse supply is a big thing for racing nowadays, but there seems to be a real adequate supply of horses out there for everybody."

Laprise says they'll try to host races on Sundays again next year.
