Trace Tetrick took home his 10th leading driver title to end Harrah’s Hoosier Park & Racing Casino’s 28th season of live harness racing last Saturday, giving him a total of 561 wins.
This is Tetrick’s eighth consecutive win this season.
“I’m just very fortunate to get to drive a lot of incredible equine athletes,” Tetrick said. “I want to thank the incredible horsemen who put me in the position to be successful. I’m extremely grateful for the hard work of the owners, trainers and grooms that is put into the horses I get the privilege of driving.”
He holds third place for the top drivers nationwide.
The top three this season were Tetrick, John DeLong and Sam Widger. DeLong held the silver title with 256 wins from 1,587 starts while Widger took third with 236 wins from 1,615 starts.
Other awards given out over the weekend included a second consecutive leading trainer trophy for Tyler George. He recorded his first million-dollar season, and his stable has accumulated more than $1.6m.
“It’s a nice accomplishment for our stable, and it means a lot to Cassie and me,” George said. “I appreciate the support from our owners all season long, as well as all of the hard work that our staff puts in on a daily basis.”
The 2021 season saw George record 119 victories at Harrah’s Hoosier Park, matching the all-time track single-season mark set by Jeff Cullipher in 2018.
“We have great people that we work with every single day, and the 2021 season has been a lot of fun for all of us,” George said.
