On episode eight of the True North Podcast, Benedict Rhodes is joined by Harnesslink’s Nicholas Barnsdale to discuss the decline in prominence of harness racing in North America, and some potential solutions to get it back on the map.
What are some of the reasons for the sport becoming less popular? Are online gambling and other casinos keeping people away from the racetrack? What does this sport need to do in Canada to attract new fans?
All of that and much more on this episode of the True North Podcast.
