The
winter/spring Watch and Wager LLC harness meeting at Cal Expo concluded
Saturday night with Luke Plano capturing the driving title, while Tim Maier
ended up the leading trainer.
Plano
reached the winner’s circle with 160 times, with James Kennedy finishing second
in the standings with 121 winning tours. Tim Maier rounded out the top three
with 90 victories in the sulky.
In
the trainer standings, Maier edged out Bob Johnson by four wins as 79 of his
stable representatives got the job done, while 75 Johnson trainees were
victorious. Gene Vallandingham was third with 70 visits to the charmed
enclosure.
The
trotters and pacers are set to return to action here in October. General
Manager Chris Schick is looking to add some new twists, including the addition
of the popular Jackpot Pick Six to the wagering menu.
