RUS Invitational Coming to The Hawk - Yonkers Trot Bids Accepted

On Saturday, September 26, 2015, at Mohawk Racetrack, there will be a special racing under saddle event, The Harlquin (an RUS Invitational).  Not only will the race feature a field of invited trotters, a couple of riders from Europe, Philip Masschaele (France) and Stephanie Werder (Sweden) will be competing along with some American riders (specific riders to be determined).
