Garnet Barnsdale takes us through the sights, sounds and energy of 40 years as a fan of harness racing.
Harness racing has always been part of my life as long as I can remember. I’m not a horseman, although I have sat behind one – once. I’m not a track announcer, although I have called live pari-mutuel races. I don’t like to label myself but I guess my main involvement started out as a “fan” in my youngest years when my Dad would take me down to Greenwood Raceway and progressed to handicapper, bettor, journalist and the 2013 “I Love Canadian Harness Racing” Fan Club Ambassador.
