THE FAMILY THAT RACES TOGETHER,
STAYS TOGETHER......
Harness racing in Ohio has been passed from generation to generation for
centuries.  Bringing confirmation that horse racing is definitely "in the blood".  
This family is no exception.
Grandfather, James France, handed the lines to his sons, Robert and William  and
daughter Shirley . Robert Brown, handed the lines to his sons, Brian, Pat and John.
Grandfather, Kenneth Harvey, handed the lines to his daughters Melanie and
Melinda and son Kenneth.  Melanie, who has not yet retired her lines, is sharing
them with her daughters, Amy, Jennifer and Stacy.
On June 18, 1988 Brian and Jennifer married, merging these two Ohio racing
families.
We found it only fitting to include a page on this website that depicts the most
recent generation.
