A driver warms up his horse on the Running Aces track on May 9.
The excitement of harness racing returns to Running Aces this summer.
The Columbus venue, now entering its 10th season of racing, opened its stables a little over a week ago, and trainers, drivers and horses have been arriving from all over the continent. Drivers could be seen putting the horses through their paces on the track last week in
preparation for a long summer of chasing prizes.broadstreet.zone(48036);
“We’ve got teams from California, Iowa, Illinois, Florida, Canada and a handful from Minnesota,” said Aaron Bedessem, marketing director at Running Aces.
The Running Aces season offers three days of racing per week, with three races each night. The action commences at 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays and at 7 p.m. Tuesdays. As Independence Day falls on a Tuesday, a 5 p.m. start on Monday July 3 will replace the Tuesday date that week.
