Longtime assistant trainer Adam Gray, son of well-known Maine horseman Doug Gray, struck out on his own this year, opening his own public stable with his wife, Stephanie May Gray. And on Aug. 5 at the Topsham Fair, Adam drove in his first pari-mutuel race, aboard Lightinin Spur. Jay Burns was there to capture the story on video, including comments from his father, Doug; Hall of Famer Don Richards; and veteran drivers Greg Bowden, Drew Campbell, Kevin Switzer and Kevin Switzer Jr., and Ruel "Dude" Goodblood Jr.
