Standardbred Canada announced the winners of the 2021 O’Brien Awards, which honour Canada’s best in harness racing over the past season, during a Virtual Gala videostreamed on standardbredcanada.ca on Sunday, February 6.
Wheels On Fire's reign of the top class at Woodbine Mohawk Park was interrupted on Saturday night (Feb. 5) when The Greak Freak flew home to land a 17-1 blow and win the $36,000 Preferred Pace.
Switching tactics from being on the front, O'Brien Award finalist Wheels On Fire this time came from behind to notch his third consecutive win in the $36,000 Preferred Pace at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Saturday (Jan. 29).
Brad Grant has developed a reputation of being affiliated with champion Standardbreds year in and year out so much that it likely comes as no surprise that three of his horses are up for O'Brien Award consideration on the basis of their 2021 campaigns.
