Brickell To Be Feted

Published: October 16, 2008 02:35 pm EDT

Sue Brickell, one of the biggest enthusiasts and hardest workers on the Pennsylvania fair harness racing circuit, has been selected to receive the Mary Lib Miller Award at the second Celebration of Pennsylvania Harness Racing at Pocono Downs on Saturday, December 6.

Brickell is a tireless worker for fair racing and the fair horsemen, serving as clerk at over half the Pennsylvania fairs, presiding as race secretary at Butler and Hughesville, and in general watching out for the needs and rights of fair horsemen, vocally relaying the message where needed.

Also a breeder and trainer, such as with the talented trotter BS Genny, Brickell is an all-around horseperson, always motivated by the good of the sport, as thus receives the Mary Lib Miller Award, named after the energetic wife of the late 'Mr. Harness Racing' Del Miller and designed to honour outstanding service to Pennsylvania harness racing.

Joining Brickell as award winners at the celebration will be the following eight horses, who were the leading point getters on the summer circuit and will thus take home the traditional blanket given to Pennsylvania's top fair horses:
