Scioto Downs in Columbus, Ohio features harness racing, similar to most horse racing venues in the state, where instead of a jockey riding the horse, a driver in a small cart behind the horse directs the equine’s movements. Harness horses are standardbred, a different breed than typical racehorses, which are thoroughbreds.
Grainger Stadium is a historic ballpark in a small town. While it isn't the fanciest stadium by any means, it has the charm and history that many of the newer venues lack.
