Ridge Open Pace News Today

Shenandoah Downs will host its two biggest races of the spring season on Saturday (April 22) -- the $25,000 Blue Ridge Open Pace and $25,000 Alleghany Open Trot -- in addition to a drivers challenge for up-and-coming reinsmen.

Even though driver David Ingraham did not cross the wire first in Saturday's (April 15) first race conditioned trot at Shenandoah Downs, he did return to the winner's circle to get his picture taken. The 61-year-old reinsman had just made career start number 53,000 in that race aboard Arthur Lisi's Rocky Bomber and even though he finished fourth, was recognized afterwards for the milestone accomplishment.
