A Winnipeg developer has plans in the works to put the Standardbred sport on the map in Manitoba s largest city within the next year and there s nothing standard about his approach or his vision.
Garth Rogerson, CEO of the not-for-profit Red River Exhibition Association, is leading the charge to expand harness racing in Manitoba beyond its current rural footprint. And while many existing facilities either feature racing as the lone attraction or relegate it to a mere afterthought, Rogerson envisions a setup where the races aren t necessarily alone in the spotlight, but still an integral element of a greater entertainment experience much in the same vein as minor league sports.
