History of Harness Racing online, links, photos


Many thanks to Tim Bojarski of Hoofbeats magazine for inspiring this post and for coming up with many of the great links below. Note that The Internet Archive is also a great place to find info on websites that don't exist anymore. Let's say you had a great biography on your website 5 years ago, but you let that website and domain slip away. At Archive.org, you can see what your old website looked like, and retrieve your bio for future use!
