Harness Racing 1900 Record Shows New Speed and Stars
The 1900 harness season nears completion with many new 2:30 or faster records and a surge in 2:10 trotters and pacers. Pneumatic tires fueled faster speeds since 1881, cutting trotters’ best by five seconds and pacers by nearly seven. The Abbot’s 2:03.34 is the trotter benchmark, while Star Pointer’s 1:07.5 pace remains top of the pacers. Eight sires appear three-plus times in fame, led by Chimes with The Abbot Fantasy and The Monk among noted progeny. The sport shows its strongest year in a decade with growing earnings and prosperity.

Plainfield plans speedway to attract horsemen
Plainfield and nearby horsemen push a plan to build a speedway by extending Arlington Avenue one mile beyond its end at Randolph Road to reach near the Middlesex County line. The project would require council land, raise private funds to grade and finish the road, and would rally horse enthusiasts from a twenty mile radius since no speedway exists in suburban New Jersey.
