London, ON – The holiday spirit was alive and well at The Raceway at Western Fair District Tuesday evening as the 6th annual Drivers’ Holiday Challenge brought exciting action and generous donations. The spotlight on the harness racing was Louis-Philippe Roy, who stole the show with an incredible performance of six wins in the eleven-race competition.
Roy’s wins included a series of both early and late daily doubles, scoring with Larjon Levi and Credit Kawhi to kick off the card, then adding wins with Yes (Race 7), Scratchin An Itch (Race 8), and closing the night with Silver Beast and Fireinsidemyveins.
Roy also teamed up with Samuel Fillion to secure Team Quebec’s victory in the team portion of the event. They finished ahead of Team West, with Team Maritimes and Team Ontario rounding out the standings. Other participating drivers included:
- Team Ontario: Garrett Rooney, defending champion Lorne House
- Team West: Phil Hudon, Daryl Thiessen
- Team Maritimes: Austin Sorrie, Paul MacKenzie
In addition to the excitement on the track, the event once again showcased the generosity of the industry. This year’s challenge raised $12,000 in cash and toys for the Toys for Tots campaign, continuing a proud tradition of giving back to the community during the holiday season.
“The Drivers’ Holiday Challenge has become a major event for us,” said Amy O’Toole, Equine Programming Manager at The Raceway. “It’s a great way to celebrate the season, showcase top talent and support a great cause.”
The Raceway’s next live program will appear this Friday evening with a first post at 5:50 PM. For complete race results and replays and the full holiday race schedule, visit www.westernfairdistrict.com.
