Canada's World Driving Championship representative Trevor Henry was presented with his official Canadian colours in a special ceremony at The Raceway at Western Fair District prior to Friday night's harness racing card.
After signing autographs for racing fans in a meet-and-greet session in the track’s main lobby, Henry was presented with his colours in the winner's circle by Standardbred Canada President and CEO John Gallinger.
Henry, 42, of Arthur, Ont., drove 533 winners during the 2012 season to top the charts for all Canadian drivers while adding $3.4 million in purse money to his stats. Both numbers were career-bests for the talented reinsman. He also won driving titles at The Raceway at The Western Fair District, Grand River Raceway, Clinton Raceway and Hanover Raceway last year.
Lifetime, he has driven in 25,739 races, accumulated 4,775 wins and driven horses to earnings in excess of $30 million. To date this year he has 177 winners and over $736,000 in earnings.
The 20-heat World Driving Championship Tour will open in Reims, France -- the heart of the Champagne Region -- on Sunday, June 9, where the first five races will be contested. It will then move to Normandy, at Caen, where four races will be contested on Monday, June 10. Angers will host five races on Wednesday, June 12 and five will be raced on Thursday, June 13 at Mauqenchy before the series comes to a close with a single heat on Saturday, June 15 at Vincennes-Paris, home of the famed Prix d’Amerique.
