With the 2010 season of harness racing complete, Trot Insider has compiled a list of the track title holders from coast to coast to recognize Canada’s top drivers and trainers

.

Driver Mark MacDonald enjoyed one of his best seasons capturing the overall Canadian money title after grossing $8,457,354 in purses thanks to multiple stakes victories including the nation’s richest event, the $1.5 million North America Cup with Sportswriter. Meanwhile, 21-year-old driver Scott Zeron, winner of this year’s Gold Cup & Saucer in P.E.I. with Part Shark, cemented his place at the top of the win column by traveling across the country to pick up 606 victories.

Canada’s leading money-earning trainer Casie Coleman enjoyed a career year banking $4,714,641 thanks to multiple stakes starters including North America Cup champion Sportswriter, Fan Hanover winner Western Silk and She’s A Great Lady champion Idyllic, among others. For the second consecutive year, Rene Allard, who captured his second straight edition of Quebec’s Le 5 Milles while campaigning a consistent and solid stable, earned the nation’s training title for wins having sent 226 winners postward in 2010.
