If you were too consumed with the Super Bowl to follow all the harness racing news last week, you might have missed the update on racing in Ontario from Dave Briggs, who is now writing for HarnessRacing Weekend Preview.

It was also the product of a new Memorandum of Understanding signed last week between the management of the eight Ontario tracks that form what's being called the Standardbred Alliance.
