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.

Two of the richest and most prominent two-year-old Grand Circuit events, the Peter Haughton Memorial Trot for colts and geldings and the Jim Doherty Memorial (formerly the Merrie Annabelle) for trotting fillies, will have a new home in 2023.

In July, also at the Meadowlands, Bulldog Hanover became the fastest horse in harness racing history when he won the William R. Haughton Memorial in 1:45.4.

Appearing for the final time in his history-making career, “The Bulldog” was best in show once more.

Owner Brad Grant wasn't trackside to watch his newly minted world champion Bulldog Hanover break the 1:46 barrier at The Meadowlands last weekend, but that didn't stop the Milton, Ont. resident from revelling in the historic harness racing moment.
