| Harness Racing |
 Harness
Racing competition has always been the heart of the County Fair.
The current Tioga County Agricultural Society traces its
creation to 1871 with the purchase of the Owego Driving Park,
now known as Marvin Park. The half-mile track was built
specifically for trotting horse competition and has been used
ever since for harness racing during the local fair and other
times for training young pacers and trotters. July 2006 was the
first time the fairgrounds were so extensively flooded that the
fair had to be cancelled. However, Jeff Gural of Tioga Downs in
Nichols was kind enough to let the Agricultural Society use his
new facility and so the NYS Sire Stakes Harness Racing,
originally scheduled for the fair, was held after all.

fast-paced competition on the Rodeo Channel. Now watch it close

roar of the crowd. Cash prizes as well as bragging rights drive
these teams to faster and faster times. Be there to see this
uniquely American skill founded in the Old West.
