Standardbred Canada unveiled the winners at the 29th edition of the annual O?Brien Awards Black Tie Gala, which was held in Mississauga, Ont.

Some familiar and impressive headliners ? both in Canada and the United States ? were crowned champions. Hannelore Hanover was named Canada?s Horse of the Year, and won her second consecutive O?Brien as Older Trotting Mare. The powerhouse mare won 10 of 17 races last season, over $1.1 million in purse money and scored victories against male rivals in an elimination and final of the

to spend all their resources hoping to turn back a clock to a place where grandstands were full and parents enrol their sons in football instead of soccer. But that place doesn?t exist anymore. For both harness racing and the NFL this is their new normal. The more time they spend trying to look backward, the less time to move ahead. Is there a way forward? Here, in my view, is one way that the NFL can learn from harness racing. The NFL is beginning to look a Slot machines, whether we want to admit or not, have saved racing. Billions and billions of dollars have entered the lot like racing industry through the one-armed bandits, and this alternate Sure, one is still a powerhouse, but both sports can probably revenue stream was well ahead of its time. It?s not learn a little from one another. uncommon in 2017 to see revenue to the recording industry by Dean Towers not come from CD sales, but from streaming and concerts. Getting new revenue from partnerships, or other avenues, is I was chatting with a friend on email this week who said happening everywhere. This is old hat to harness racing. he felt that the Super Bowl buzz seemed muted this year; that the big game didn?t feel quite as big. For the NFL, their slot machines could be sports betting terminals. As you may have seen over the last few weeks, I agreed. If that is indeed true, maybe it shouldn?t be sports leagues are trying to earn a slice of betting revenue surprising. In 2017, the NFL saw regular season television as it works its way through state houses. They, like harness viewership fall 12 per cent, and it was even worse in the racing before them, are right to pursue these dollars. playoffs. Attendance was off three per cent, with 22 of 32 teams seeing declines. Where harness racing can learn from the NFL, is that even with sports betting revenue, the NFL knows the underlying Those inside the sport are searching for reasons for these bad numbers: - Instant replay and more commercials are making the games too long for demographics who crave instant gratification. - The game is too dangerous. My kids aren?t playing it. - You can?t hit anybody without drawing a flag. Boring! - National Anthem! National Anthem! Racing has gone through different, but eerily similar arguments. And, as crazy as it may sound to you, I don?t think ? in terms of end users and participants ? the two sports are that much different. Football is a traditional game which once fit perfectly in a traditional world. Community is everything in the sport, from tailgates to booster events, and as brilliantly told in books like Our Boys, by Joe Drape, the sport is pure Americana. Harness racing?s roots are similar. It?s an agrarian game, as the Little Brown Jug shows each and every year. The problem for both harness racing and the NFL is that rural populations are declining; agrarian has given way to urban. The NFL, like harness racing did for years, may be tempted
Harness Racing Update | Page 7 | February 4, 2018 Harness Racing Update business and related customer metrics are losing steam. foolhardy. Changes have to be made. But we need to learn from them, as well. The fans who complain that NFL games take too long are Harness racing needs to completely commit to customers, seeing action. The NFL has gone to split screens for fans and owners. Just like they do to the NFL, they matter, commercials, and have cut minutes of ad time in each game and investing in them ? while it might involve some short (despite the top-line loss of revenue). Instant replay, which term pain ? is, in my view, vital to the game?s future. can disrupt game flow, has been changed and tweaked and will probably see fan-friendly changes in the offseason. Rules changes are happening at a Niatross-type pace ? in fact, just yesterday, the NFL announced they?ll be looking at the dreaded ?catch rule? with a possible complete overhaul in the cards for next season. Harness racing has been horribly slow on the switch with similar complaints. Post drags ? tantamount to commercials or replay reviews ? have been getting more frequent and longer, not the other way around. For many years, the different rules by jurisdiction has not only hurt the end-product, but angered fans, horsepeople and owners alike. Only now, through initiatives at Standardbred Canada and the USTA, are uniform rules being addressed. Not only does the sport need to listen to fans more, they should probably look at investing into them. Cue the Atlanta Falcons. Just this past season, the Falcons lowered prices dramatically on just about everything they sell at the game; hot dogs, by way of example, were priced at $2, versus a league average of $5.19. The result was dramatic. The Falcons sold more concession items by the end of the first quarter than they did all game in 2016, and sales were up over 50 per cent. Merchandise sales and other revenues skied. In surveys, patrons gave the Falcons the best customer satisfaction numbers in the NFL, up from 18th a year earlier. ?Sure, we could shake out a few more dollars of margin under the old model, but given all the other positive benefits, it?s the bigger revenue play, period,? noted the person in charge of the policy. When was the last time we?ve seen a customer experience survey that good for harness racing? I don?t think we ever have, because harness racing (in large part, there are exceptions) has squeezed their customers, not invested in them. Higher and higher takeout is commonplace; customer complaints show troubling trends. Like harness racing?s, the NFL?s problems are real. I believe they?re right to follow our lead when it comes to attracting new revenues, like sports betting. And they should certainly have already learned from us that looking in the rear view mirror in a changing, urbanized, connected world is

We got Resolve to race two years in a row, but Solvalla offers a lot of races for horses during this whole weekend and we wanted to see more.?

Svanstedt also brought some other horses to Sweden, but the interest from the American trainers was not as strong as Solvalla hoped for and this year, there will not be a flight that goes directly from the United States to Sweden for the Elitloppet. ?But that doesn?t stop American horses from coming to Solvalla.

Speedy Crow n A t 50 by Dean A. Hoffman On a cold winter?s night 50 years ago in southwest Ohio, a horse was born who would change the trotting world in North America and whose influence continues to felt around the world. Speedy Crown was foaled on the Beissinger family farm near Hamilton, OH on January 29, 1968. His influence has spread wherever trotters are raced. Even in France, where America trotting blood was once castigated as ?planting weeds in your rose garden? you find Speedy Crown three times in the pedigree of Readly Express, last weekend?s Prix d?Amérique winner. He appears in the pedigree of his sire ? the phenom Ready Cash ? and appears twice in the pedigree of the Prix d?Amerique winner?s dam. It?s virtually impossible to find a trotter in North America that doesn?t carry the blood of Speedy Crown. With the passage of a half-century, Speedy Crown?s name is often well back in current pedigrees and just as often you?ll find it multiple times.
Speedy Crown and Howard Beissinger.

He raced her with modest horses in North America as well as invaders from Europe in success as her owner, then got a free breeding to Florican at international events and earned Trotter of the Year honors.

Always mindful of money, he (Horse of the Year honors in 1972 went to Albatross.) used the free breeding in 1961 and Worth A Plenty delivered Speedy Crown went to stud at Lana Lobell Farms in a filly in 1962 named Missile Toe. Pennsylvania and it seemed obvious that he was suited well Beissinger was training privately in the mid-1960s and could not race his own horses, so he gave Missile Toe to Ohioan John Hague, who raced her primarily at the fairs with his son Dale driving. Missile Toe was a good filly in the limited world of the Ohio fairs and earned $22,362 and got a mark of 3, T2:05.2. Like many Floricans, she didn?t have much knee action in front, so Beissigner bred her in 1957 to Speedy Scot, the elbow-booted ?Castleton Cannonball? that dominated the stakes of 1962-63. What Missile Toe lacked in her front stroke Speedy Scot had in abundance. When it came time to name the first foal by Speedy Scot from Missile Toe, Beissinger turned to his interest in rodeo and named him Headin And Healin after an event officially called team roping. Headin And Healin when to Florida in the fall of 1969 to begin his lessons in harness, Beissinger was coming off a stellar season in which he?d won the Big Five of trotting with Lindy?s Pride. Those events were the Hambletonian, Kentucky Futurity, Yonkers Futurity, Dexter Cup, and Colonial. Early in 1970, Beissinger sold Headin And Healin to Frank Antonacci, a Long Island patron of his stable. The price was $25,000 with the understanding that Beissinger would

The influence of his sons and daughters on trotting pedigrees around the world is far beyond the scope this tribute. It could fill volumes. From his humble birth a half-century ago, Speedy Crown was clearly the most influential trotting stallion in the world when he died at age 32 in 2000. Speedy Crown - Across The Pond Europeans are mad about trotters and, of course, they hold Speedy Crown in perhaps even higher reverence than many in North America do. His descendants have exerted enormous influence on European pedigrees. Thanks to my friend Sturla Pettersen, the European pedigree guru, for providing an overview of Speedy Crown?s influence in Europe. One of his first sons to go to Europe was Choctaw Brave, a Grand Circuit competitor who went through the sales ring as a ridgling after his stakes schedule was complete. After starting his breeding career in Finland, his other testicle dropped. When that testicle descended, Choctaw Brave ascended to the top of the Finnish sire list. Gus Lobell was another Speedy Crown son that enjoyed success in Finland. In Sweden, Crowntron sired only two crops, but they remarkable. His stiff-legged little chestnut daughter Queen L

The year 1988 was the last time a driver won the Hambletonian back to back. John Campbell with Armbro Goal the year after he won it with Mack Lobell.

Campbell, the all-time leading winner of Triple Crown races, won eight Messenger stakes, the most of any one driver in any of the six Triple Crown events. (1986-1987-1990-1994-1995-1998-2000-2004). Campbell won eight races on a single card at Freehold in October of 1986. Thirty-two years later, that still stands as the high water mark. Mike Lachance won eight Meadowlands races on July 13, 1995, the most ever on once card at the Meadowlands. Oddly, he was not in two races that night on the 15-race card. Stephane Bouchard won the first eight races at Yonkers on March 3, 2003. It was a record for consecutive winning drives at the Hilltop oval. Combine the fact that he won the last three at Freehold that afternoon and his 11 straight victorious drives was and is the industry standard still today. Jimmy Takter has eight Hambletonian Oaks to his credit and can make it five straight in 2018 if Manchego opts to go versus the girls. Stars Pride sired eight Hambletonian winners from 1958 (Emilys Pride) to 1972 (Super Bowl) ? the record for a sire in the sports most prestigious race. In 2006, Glidemaster won the Hambletonian for Campbell and continued on to capture the Triple Crown. That day, Glidemaster, trained by Blair Burgess, started from post eight in the day?s eighth race ? and you got it? he was the eighth trotter to win the Triple Crown. Oh yeah, he was named Horse Of The Year, too, on the strength of eight wins and seven seconds in 15 starts.
