Relive some of the greatest moments in the history of this storied sport from 1932-1966. This two-hour feature is hosted by one of the all-time great drivers, Delvin Miller, along with Roger Huston. Together they will bring you all the action from great races of the past, special features, and a look at the crowds from these historic events. The footage is black and white, not doctored from its original format as it was originally produced on Beta in 1981; these moments will stay in your collection forever.

There are Hambletonian races from 1933, 1937, 1944, 1947, 1953, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1960, 1961, 1964, 1965 and 1966. You will also see features from Russia, Germany, Austria and Canada; tracks and reactions from Roosevelt, Yonkers and Goshen. Other races include Good Time Paces, International Trots, United Nations Trots, American Trotting Championship and the Prix D'Amerique and more. Additional features include the "armless horseman" Colby Turner and horse "Adios" with Delvin Miller. Remember that much of the footage is rough and the clothes are hysterical; however the races are fantastic including two horse showdowns.
