Standardbred Canada announced the winners of the 2022 O’Brien Awards, honouring Canada’s best in harness racing over the past season, at the Black-Tie Gala on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023.
On O'Brien Awards night one year ago, Millar Farms was buzzing with partygoers donning boots and bling amid celebratory cheers and toasts to Canada's 2021 harness racing champions. When the 2022 O'Brien Awards winners are announced this weekend, it will be a quiet evening at the Stouffville, Ont. farm.
As the end of the 2022 harness racing season was approaching, driver Doug McNair already had a list of achievements worthy of an O'Brien Award nomination, but there was no letting up as the Guelph, Ont. reinsman pushed right to the wire to reach new heights.
The 2022 season was as good as gold for Silver Label.
O'Brien Awards finalist and pacing dynamo Divine Art returned to the track at Cal-Expo over a "slow" going to Thursday night (Jan. 13) and asserted her strength in a $5,400 fillies and mares pacing event.
