Steven Wilson steers his sulky off the track Wednesday afternoon at the Farmington Fairgrounds after a training session. Despite a mud-soaked track, Wilson was exercising Another Sassy Filly, a 2-year-old Standardbred, in preparation for July’s Maine Sire Stakes. Maine’s harness racing season started last weekend in Scarborough and continues every weekend there through the summer. There is a week of racing during the Farmington Fair in mid-September.
