Rocky Schurman, Nicole MacLeod-MacPherson and Retromedia of Prince Edward Island, Canada have joined forces to produce and distribute World Harness Racing Podcasts.
Beginning with the launch week of May 1, 2018, two podcasts with select photos will be available every Tuesday online at worldharnessracing.com (podcasts). The first two podcasts will focus on harness racing in Sweden and harness racing driving legend Joe O’Brien – available now.
Seventeen harness racing countries and 16 international harness racing sponsors will be featured in these podcasts, with each having helped to create the content for the popular 2017 book World Harness Racing. Refer to the link below for the review of this book published on harnessbred.com in September 2017.
World Harness Racing (top Varenne; bottom Moni Maker and Wally Hennessey)
Independent local PEI publishers www.retromedia.ca produced a commemorative book for the World Trotting Conference titled “World Harness Racing”. It is global in outlook although PEI as WTC host features in its 170 pages containing summaries of seventeen different countries including 100+ photos. This extremely informative publication is well worth the investment required to secure its purchase (three of the WDC drivers feature in the book – Dexter Dunn, Bjorn Goop and Gerhard Mayr). The book launch took place at Red Shores Charlottetown on Wednesday 16 August 2017 with newly appointed Hambletonian Society President and recently retired driving legend John Campbell in attendance to autograph books. Wally Hennessey, a native Prince Edward Islander, USA and Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Famer and regular driver of champion trotter Moni Maker was also part of the head table group at the book launch. Copies are available from www.retromedia.ca at a cost of C$29.95 plus shipping and fees.
