Harness racer Jake Grenier Builds From School Roots
Jacques Grenier, longtime harness trainer and driver at Santa Anita, hails from St Anthony’s High School CIF champions of 1948.

Grenier recalls Manchester NH beginnings, his father racing standardbreds, and a lifelong passion that shaped his bid to balance training principles across sports and harness racing.
