Amateur event adds to Philly Triple Crown

The Commerce Bank Triple Crown pro races in Pennsylvania on June 4, June 8 and June 11 will have company in the form of an amateur event on June 10, the Wissahickon Circuit Race in Philadelphia, PA.

The race is the brainchild of Robert Goldman, a senior at Chestnut Hill Academy and a rider with Club Wissahickon, who has decided in effect to revive The Liberty Open. Goldman is organizing the event as his senior year project at Chestnut Hill Academy, and as part of internship with Club Wissahickon. He hopes to make the race an annual event after.
