Susie Sweetheart fuels Vince Daliessio’s rise in harness racing
Crum Lynne trainer and former Ridley Township football player Vince Daliessio built a career around Susie Sweetheart, the unpromising filly he transformed into a race winner. The two earned 1967 fair circuit success, with Susie racing at Brandywine Raceway as Daliessio expanded to three other pacers at Winterset Farms. He emphasizes hard work, veterinary care, and a drive to succeed in harness racing’s top tier.
