Harness racing is traditionally the smallest event in the Aiken Triple Crown.
The annual series of horse-racing events starts Saturday with the Aiken Trials. Although the harness races aren't for another three weeks, four of the eight races are already organized, Mr. McGhee said. Rumors began circulating the harness races may be canceled after a trainer withdrew about 50 horses from the track and relocated to North Carolina a few months ago.
