Just spitballing, but wouldnât it be cool to have one dedicated Breederâs Crown night for aged pacers and trotters by gender, plus have consolations for each class? Â Since they are all such seasoned professionals by that point, a public access component to the paddock would be a great public outreach opportunity.
