This is: NOT where you want to start out in your horseracing career!

Spent 8 years working in harness racing in the late 70's and early 80's and please don't take any offense to this statement.I've seen some races on TVG from Cal-Expo and it's the bottom of the barrel of harness racing.

They're a guy driving out there named Richard Wocijo who was an up and coming driver here on the east coast.Needless to say he was asked to leave and it seems Cal-Expo is the only place that will accept him.Nuff said.

Yes, it is pretty much the bottom of the barrel of harness racing. Pretty crappy track also, the only thing nice about it is the simulcast room. Other than that, it's like a cheap county fair atmosphere, but for some reason, I really enjoy going there, maybe because I love watching Harness Racing live.
