Drew Campbell closed out the year in dominate fashion to punctuate yet another Drivers Championship at the Downs
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.
