According to Bill Galvin of the Canadian Trotting Association the pur pose of the intercollegiate harness driving competition is to get young people interested in harness racing so they will enter the profession or become involved with harness racing in some capacity And it seems to be working For example said Galvin in 1977 Steve Cochrane won the Ontario championship and the Canadian championship Cochrane was the leading driver at Kawartha Downs this season University graduates Cochrane went to University of Waterlooi are actually star ting to come back into harness racing The intercollegiate program started in 1974 in Ontario Since that time there have been as many as 40 colleges and univer sities participating But the col leges and universities that show most interest in competing are those that offer courses in equine study or those that are conveniently near raceway and have students whose fainin JuvenHes defeat Thornhill Barrie Allan Cook Juveniles recorded win in their first

Barrie Raceway But weve only been here five years and lot of potential student drivers people who come from rac ing background in Barrie probably go away to college or university Saturday the students will be driving pacers because Wade explained trotters tend to break stride more often than paccrs Wade did certain amount of handicapping in choosing the horses that the students will drive as it was necessary to get horses as near one another in competitiveness as possible Wade said that if hc had an entry they felt was not safe or was not competitive then they just threw him out and looked for another SIlliENTS The seven college student drivers are Pat Dillon of Kingston representing St Lawrence College Todd Flair nigan of London for Fanshawe College Ken Fox of Burlington for Mohawk College
