Changes at the Syracuse Mile
The Buffalo Trotting Association, managing partner of the
Buffalo-Vernon joint venture operating the race meet at the Syracuse
Mile has announced it will not operate the meet at the New York State
Fair in 2003. Instead, the meet will be raced as a non-
wagering "breeders' meet" on August 9 and 10, 2003 and races will be
offered for 2- and 3-year-old New York-breds. A sponsor is also being
sought for the Dr. Harry M. Zweig Memorial Trot for 3-year-olds, but
if none is found prior to January 1, 2003 the race will be cancelled
and all stakes refunded.
