HARNESS RACING CAREERS: MEET CARETAKER Katie Remmerswaal

8/29/2018

0 Comments

 
It's sounds like a simple job, right? Caretakers care for the horses. But a lot goes into making sure those horses are healthy and happy and well fed and performing at their peak. Catch up with an up-and-coming caretaker at Harrah's Philadelphia, where she talks you through an average workday and explains why, as the people who spend the most time with the horses, trainers and owners rely on them for so much.

THIS GUTSY 12-YEAR OLD IS STILL BEATING HORSES HALF HIS AGE

8/9/2018

Meet Dial Or Nodial—assuming you don't know him already. This pacer has a heart of gold and nerves of steel and has been winning big-money races for years. And he's still winning, picking up a victory just last week at Harrah's Philadelphia in a speedy 1:52.2.

“He’s a little bit of a special horse to everybody involved,” trainer Jim Campbell told Standardbred Canada back in 2011 after Dial had already won 15 of 47 career races and earned $1,012,257. “Mr. Siegel raised the horse. He was a good two-year-old and one of the top three-year-olds until he got hurt. Then he came back last year and showed that he’s a class horse. He’s one of those horses that is just a real nice horse to be around. You can’t help but love him." We love him too.
