Cane Pace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cane Pace is a harness horse race run annually since 1955. In 1956 the race joined with the Little Brown Jug and the Messenger Stakes to become the first leg in the Triple Crown of Harness Racing for Pacers.
Drivers, Stanley Dancer and John Campbell hold the record for the most Cane Pace wins with four each.
Since 1998, the race is held at the Freehold Raceway in Freehold Borough, New Jersey. Established in 1853, Freehold Raceway is the oldest half-mile racetrack in the United States.
From 1955 to 1997, the race was held at Yonkers Raceway in Yonkers, New York.
