Dover, DE — World champion and recently honored as the 2019 Harness Horse of the Year in North America, Shartin N is slated to take on five quality harness racing mares in a $50,000 Mares Invitational Pace on Wednesday (March 4) at Dover Downs.
Shartin N, crowned by the United States Harness Writers Association just this past Sunday in Orlando, Florida as the 2019 Dan Patch Horse of the Year, will make her first start of the year in the 12th race on Wednesday’s card.
