Virgil, NY (07/18/2006) – Round
6 of the Atlantic Grand Prix took place at the
Logan Farm on July 9th at what would prove to
be the the Best Cross Country course of the
year. The course consisted of long grass tracks,
open woods trails and exciting off camber turns,
and best of all, the gate fees went directly
to the Logan Farm, which is a Thoroughbred Horse
Rehabilitation Farm that rescues sick thoroughbred’s
that would normally be euthanized. With The
sun shining bright and beautiful and the light
winds keeping everyone cool, it was a perfect
day to race. Riders traveled from all over to
race alongside big names such as Chris Borich,
Tyler Lenig, and Stephanie Verkade
Dale Freitas put together an excellent course for
the youth riders creating a safe yet fun environment
for our future Pro’s, Austin Findley out of
New Providence, PA put in yet another great race
by taking the win on his Kawasaki ATV. Brandi Harmon
and Jack Graham placed 2nd and 3rd respectively.
