Retiree Killean Sweep was back on track to compete in a pair of youth exhibition races held at Grand River Raceway during Fun & Frivolity Friday Night in Elora, Ont. and the 11-year-old pacer pulled off a sweep of both events

.

The track hosted eight kids ages 10 to 13 in the Ontario Harness Racing Youth Camp (part of the Hands On Horse Program) in two exhibition races. The program’s newest addition, Killean Sweep, swept both races, granting wins to aspiring drivers Antonios Ninos, 11, of Alma, Ont. and Jessie Gordon, 10, of Brampton, Ont.

Also part of the Fun & Frivolity Night activities were the Bouncy Pony Stakes featuring Ontario Harness Racing Youth Camp staffers and award-winning photographer/Bouncy Pony Master Matt Waples.
