Remembering the great Dexter
The Dexter Cup is an annual tribute to the great trotter Dexter, who dominated harness racing in the mid-to-late 1860s and twice lowered the world record in 1867. This year's Dexter Cup, the first major stakes event on the way to the Hambletonian, is Saturday afternoon, May 10, at Freehold Raceway. But for one small town in southeastern Kansas, every day is a tribute to Dexter. After all, it was named in his honor. (11/05) MoreYou may also like
