A quick start to the season set the pace for Sectionline Bigry, as he went on to double his win totals from 2018 on the way to being named the 2019 Ohio Aged Pacer of the Year.
Sectionline Bigry, a son of Pet Rock–Aquatic Yankee, won 12 of his 20 races for owner Harold Lee Bauder and trainer Steve Bauder and earned $222,420 in purses last season.
The highlights of his year were winning the Ohio Sires Stakes Aged Pacing Championship at Scioto Downs and the Gene Riegle Memorial Open Pace at the Great Darke County Fair.
Sectionline Bigry was bred by Bauder of Delaware, Ohio, Michael Dixon of Hilliard, Ohio and Harold L. Bauder of Delaware, Ohio.
Driver Tyler Smith has said that Sectionline Bigry is an unbelievable horse. “He showed up for every big dance we had. He is such a handy horse that is so fast and has a will to win.”
Sectionline Bigry will be honoured at the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association and United States Trotting Association’s District 1 Annual Awards Banquet January 18, 2020 at the University Area Marriott in Columbus, Ohio. Tickets to the banquet can be purchased by calling the OHHA office at 614-221-3650 or by heading to www.ohha.com.
