Photo of harness racing 40 years ago

A picture of harness racing in the 1960s. Although the horses have not changed very much the drivers now wear 'jockey's colours' and the crowd are certainly not allowed to stand on the track in these days of 'Health and Safety Regulations'.

A photo from racing in 2003.  Notice the safety barriers for the protection of the crowd, the drivers wear 'colours' and the small white pegs on the inside of the track to help prevent accidental overturning of the sulkies (carts).  These are some of the more obvious changes in later  years.
