For those harness fans not aware of it, free live video is available for the harness races from Alberta Downs at the link below, as well as video replays of previous days' races at this track:
http://www.asha.ab.ca/watchlive.html
--Alberta Downs is a dual-purpose, one mile oval located near Lacombe, Alberta. They are currently conducting a harness meet there on a Saturday, Sunday and Monday basis, starting at 1:00 PM (M.S.T.). People wanting to bet the races here, and don't want to attend the races in person or at an Alberta OTB site, don't have many options for ADWS carrying this harness meet. I know of only a couple of such ADWS currently offering wagering at Alberta Downs. They are PREMIER TURF CLUB and DAY AT THE TRACK.
--Even if a harness fan does have access to betting Alberta Downs, there is the small parimutuel handle at present to contend with. That may be a drawback for some bettors. Some may not care. I guess time will tell if the parimutuel handle will grow substantially.
--I'm still trying to figure out why the owner would want to start a major-sized racetrack, far from a major city like Edmonton or Calgary. Anyone got any guesses?
--Anyway, hope you enjoy watching some of the Alberta Downs harness races on free, live video.
