Closing Day marked the conclusion of the 2014 meet at Scarborough Downs on
Sunday (12-21) with competitive racing and recognition of seasonal achievements
being the hallmark of the day while the New England Harness Writers Association
joined the track to help dole out the hardware.
Drew Campbell, the perennial powerhouse among a very competitive drivers colony
secured yet another Drivers Championship in 2014, spinning together a grand
slam performance on the closing day card to augment his meet's leading tally
to 199 seasonal scores. Currently the third rated UDRS driver in North America,
Campbell closed out the year in identical fashion to the way he began it,
winning both the first and final dash of the nine month meet.
Philip "Bo" Sowers secured the very first Scarborough Trainers Championship
of his career, surviving a late charge from the Randy Bickmore Barn to claim
top dog status after sending 49 winners to the post during the year. Sowers
joins a handful of state of Maine horsemen who are ranked among the leading
campaigners in North America in 2015, with his roster currently ranked fourth
in the continental trainers standings sporting a hefty .380 UTRS.
With 2014 now fully engraved in the archives, all eyes are set on the dawn
of a new year and continued success, with the 2015 meeting, the 65th in the
history of Scarborough Downs, set to begin on March 28.
