Beneath its towering palms many leading trainers prepare their young trotters and pacers for the Grand
Circuit, the touring series of prestige
races primarily for 2 - and 3 - year - olds that gets into full swing in mid-June in places like Detroit, Lexington, Ky. and Saratoga, N.Y. Pompano is analogous to baseball's spring training camps: you get the athletes into shape in the South, then send them North for the
regular season.
At the end of a five -
race circuit comprised of either off - road or
regular races (each
race is voted on beforehand), the winner gets a currency and Rep prize that can be carried back to the single - player campaign.
