Standardbred Canada is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2022 O’Brien Awards, honouring Canada’s best in harness racing over the past season.

The 2023 Meadowlands stakes schedule will again feature many of the sport's most highly prized Grand Circuit stakes during the "Championship Meet".

After a six-week absence because of throat surgery, Meadowlands Pace champion Beach Glass is ready to return to the races in the first of Thursday’s two $35,000 Progress Pace eliminations at Bally’s Dover.

After registering the biggest upset in Hambletonian history two weeks ago, Cool Papa Bell will head to Saturday’s (Aug. 20) $300,000 Earl Beal Jr. Memorial at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono at the other end of the spectrum — as morning-line favourite.

When it comes to providing full effort, trainer Brian Brown sees nothing deceptive about Trick Of The Light. She gives her best time after time. 

The lure of $2,242,500 in purses has attracted many of harness racing’s stars to The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono on Saturday afternoon for its biggest card of the year, Sun Stakes Saturday.

Health issues grounded Soaring Now during his two-year-old season, but the colt is flying high again as he heads to Saturday’s $300,000 Carl Milstein Memorial Invitational for three-year-old pacers at MGM Northfield Park.

The "Greatest Day in Harness Racing" is upon us, and the entries are in for the $3.5 million Saturday, Aug. 6 Hambletonian Day supporting card.

While much of the attention will be focused on the second leg of trotting’s Triple Crown on Saturday (August 6) at The Meadowlands for Hambletonian Day, a field of eight pacing colts and geldings will vie for the second leg of pacing’s Triple Crown — the Cane Pace.

PJ Lou never gets caught napping at the start of a race. The three-year-old male pacer has been worse than second at the quarter-mile point in only three of 18 lifetime starts and has been worse than third at the half just once — in his career debut.
