On November 23, the Inverness Raceway held its awards banquet for 2013.

The special guest speakers were Ben Wallace and Renee Kierans. Ben had a great story of his history with the racing industry and Renee shared her competition with him, but in thoroughbred horses. With the success that they have had, one can only hope and dream that one day a special horse comes your way.

When Ben was here, he noticed that we have the famous ‘Cabot Links’ golf links here. So, before he left he pledged to sponsor a race in 2014, just so he can try out the links! We look forward to seeing him again.

Casie Coleman was also invited to the banquet, but could not make it due to prior engagements. She donated money for door prizes to be bought and given out. Thanks again, Casie!

The Standardbred Canada award was given to Joey Poirer. He has been involved in harness racing for the last 40 years. He may not have had the best horses, but his always get treated as if they were.
