New Scoring Method Proposed for Harness Races in Cleveland
Cleveland December 30. A novel scoring system would force drivers to start together and parade into position at the tape before a race. Horses would form single file and settle into spots as drawn, aiming to reduce breaks and bring trotters and pacers to the wire on stride. A limit of three scores is planned, with penalties for repeat offenses and possible extra scores by stewards. The plan may be discussed at Grand Circuit meetings January 9 and 10 and on wider associations.
