Congratulations to three Shenandoah Downs horsemen who had impressive accomplishments this week. Trainer Roger Hammer's Little Road --- who qualified at the Woodstock oval in April --- had a huge win today at Harrah's Philadelphia in the $300,000 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes 3-Year-Old Filly Trot! Driver Eric Davis had a five-win night at Ocean Downs earlier in the week and driver William Carter went over the $1 million mark in earnings for the third straight year. We can't wait to welcome these three --- along with all the other drivers, trainers, owners, fans & staff --- back to Shenandoah Downs for the 2026 fall meet which begins Saturday September 19.
