Brandon — During the early 1900s, Brandon residents endulged in horse racing along Arnold District Road at the future site of what became the Brandon Training School, now a housing complex.
Trotters and flats attracted many local residents on weekends. Viewers often enjoyed picnic lunches trackside in the days before electronic entertainment.
Sadly, few artifacts remain of the old track.
