Obrian Awards lose Credibility
« on: December 19, 2025, 12:22:08 PM »
Kudos to Dave Briggs, Who wrote Article in HRU today regarding Voting criteria for these awards. If you’re not going to choose the best horses who raced in your country, then why even have them. Lexus Kody, who represented Canada in international Trot this year and won the race, not to mention winning their prestigious Maple Leaf Trot in record time is left off their ballot? Ridiculous Rule that horse has to race on their soil 3 times in a year to be considered and BC doesn’t count? Shame on them.

How about Mary Ratchford a finalist for up and coming trainer. Her father trains those horses and there are bills to prove it.

How about trainer Moreau winning 10 years in a row then getting tossed out of the game.

As big as it comes.

I always enjoyed seeing them getting nominated despite having a positive test the same year!

Don’t Forget Sorrie leading Canada in wins and not nominated what a disgrace for no top driver

i would hope that standardbred canada had some people visit where the ratchfords train and be 100% confident that she is actually doing the training work , but i bet they never did
to assume just because her name is down as a  trainer in name is foolish

Did they got tired of giving awards to another chemically enhanced Burke horse?
