The Ohio Fair Racing Conference races at 21 county fairs across the state of Ohio. OFRC Coordinator Bill Peters says despite COVID-19, it was a great year of racing in the OFRC. “Several adjustments were made at the fairs in the Ohio Fair Racing Conference to abide by the pandemic protocols. Most of the horsemen and the race officials adapted well to the changes, and the season went relatively well.”
The top driver on the circuit this year was Cam McCown. McCown collected 27 wins this year, winning the title for the fourth straight year.
The top trainer was Chris Beaver as he sent 21 horses to the winner’s circle. Beaver also won the title in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
