Congratulations to Taylor Spitzig of Courtright, Ontario, for winning our first Zoom contest for 2014 which challenged our Fan Club members to take 'selfies.'
Taylor took a great shot of herself and her parent’s 10 year old trotter, Twin B Rawley. Taylor has been involved in harness racing practically her whole life. The 23-year-old horsewoman obtained her trainer’s license late last year, and with her Dad, Rusty, they train a nine-horse stable.
On March 18 at The Raceway at Western Fair, Taylor celebrated her first training win with pacer Winwood Nick, a horse she also owns.
To see many of the great “selfies” that were entered, check out Standardbred Canada’s Facebook page.
Thank you to our other finalists:
-
Melissa Chandler of Winsloe, Prince Edward Island, for her shot with Caspiana.
-
Evelyn Sabraw of Acme, Alberta, for her shot with Ruby Tuesday.
-
Katie Miller of Inverness, Nova Scotia, for her shot with Captive Audience just before he won the Whata Baron final at The Meadowlands in 1:48.3.
-
Heather Young of Guelph, Ontario, for her shot with Piece Of The Rock.
