The winter/spring Watch and Wager LLC harness meeting at Cal Expo concluded Saturday night with Luke Plano capturing the driving title, while Tim Maier ended up the leading trainer.
Plano reached the winner’s circle 160 times, with James Kennedy finishing second in the standings with 121 winning tours. Maier rounded out the top three with 90 victories in the sulky.
In the trainer standings, Maier edged out Bob Johnson by four wins as 79 of his stable representatives got the job done, while 75 Johnson trainees were victorious. Gene Vallandingham was third with 70 visits to the charmed enclosure.
The trotters and pacers are set to return to action at Cal Expo in October. General Manager Chris Schick is looking to add some new twists, including the addition of the popular Jackpot Pick 6 to the wagering menu.
