This past year created many great memories in Canadian harness racing. What was your favourite Canadian harness racing memory from 2017?

The year 2017 was the 250th anniversary of Canadian Horse Racing. It was filled with special events, major stakes races, and much more. It featured unforgettable victories by our superstar horses, many career milestones by our champion horsepeople, and some extraordinary track records.

The world came to Canada as Standardbred Canada hosted the 2017 World Trotting Conference and World Driving Championship, and to top the year off, Canadian harness racing driver James MacDonald of Guelph, Ont. captured the 2017 World Driving Champion title.
