Are you one of the guys down there who races standardbreds under saddle?

I know a lot of guys that race under the saddle, but here at Green Meadows we are promoting harness racing and a winter training facility in Greenville, TX.

Once upon a time, there was harness racing in Texas at some fairs.

1931
The South Texas Fairs Racing Circuit, meeting at Boerne, Texas, on February 7, adopted a resolution asking the legislature to legalize horse racing, which, we assume, means they want to have betting legalized.

The bill to make pari-mutuel betting legal in Texas has been killed by the legislature of the Lone Star State.

W. H. L. McCourtie of Dallas, Texas, owner of Mr. McElwyn 1:591/4, is distributing a fine calendar in colors, showing the famous young stallion.

Mr. McCourtie owned a large plant and there's a photo of Mr. McElwyn standing in the middle of all the emlpoyee's from this same period.
