Trot Insider has learned that Roger Trottier has passed away at age 76. He was a longtime horseman at Sudbury Downs as well as the Northern ‘B’ Circuit.
Trottier was one of the pioneers of harness racing in northern Ontario.
The Trottier family owned and operated Trottier Raceway for 12 years before Sudbury Downs opened down the road.
Trottier will be remembered by racing fans for being the owner/driver of Barney T, who was a little chestnut free for aller on the Northern ‘B’ Circuit that was hard to beat with his finishing kick.
Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the family and friends of Roger Trottier.
