In a sport where bad news gets most of the press, it is a rare occasion when we get to salute someone that does something extra special for this sport. If you have not already seen it, please read this story about Fran Azur who made this year's Barton Fair in Vermont special. Mr. Azur sent his horses Blueridge Western and Noble Falcon to the fair and secured the services of Brian Sears and Tim Tetrick to drive them in an exhibition race to beat the Vermont state record of 1:59.4. In addition, Mr Azur provided a $16,000 purse supplement to the two day fair. The Barton Fair became big news this year as a result.
We need more Fran Azurs in this sport. Hopefully others will follow his lead.
