John Berry: The best race ever!

As many of you know by now, I love the history of this grand sport of harness racing. From the Narragansett Pacers of the 1700’s to the arrival of Messenger in 1788 to the first 3:00 mile recorded by Yankee in 1806 to Conquerer’s epic 100-mile world recorded in 1853 (in eight hours, 55 minutes
