Driver Shawn Gray’s Top Accolades Benefit Charity
Scarborough, Maine (January 23, 2012): Driver Shawn Gray, 38, of West Gardiner, Maine, closed out the 2011 racing season with the highest UDRS rating in all of North America by the United States Trotting Association, an accolade that was recognized at Saturday’s Maine Harness Horsemen’s Association banquet in Augusta. Gray’s UDR is .440. Don Marean, the District 9 representative of the USTA, told the crowd of 500 guests, comprised of Gray’s fellow horse men and horse women from the State of Maine, that the USTA will award a $250 donation to the charity of Gray’s choice for his accomplishments. Gray chose St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
[For those who aren’t familiar with harness racing’s UDRS numbers, the “Universal Driver Rating System” represents a sort of “batting average” for drivers and trainers. The method of determining that status of a driver or trainer is based on the amount of wins, seconds, and thirds he/she has in relationship to the number of starts. The formula, as set by the United States Trotting Association, is as follows: UDRS/UTRS = (Wins x 9) + (Places x 5) + (Shows x 3)....divided by (Starts x 9)]
The 2011 statistics were nothing out of the ordinary for Gray. Since 1998, he has never had a UDR lower than .307 and in his last three seasons of racing, he has been over .400 (2009-.420, 2010-.415 and 2011-.440) while competing solely within the confines of The Pine Tree State.
For the winter, Gray is trying his luck in The Empire State at Buffalo Raceway. In 23 starts as a pilot, he has amassed a record of 7-5-4 and purse money of $30,292, while the 10 horses that accompanied him have started six times with three victories and one second place finish, banking $13,481.
Opening Weekend for live racing at Scarborough Downs resumes on Saturday, March 31 with a post time of 4 pm, and Sunday, April 1 at 1:05 pm. Driver Shawn Gray will be back in

Victory Tax claims Trotter of the Year honors at Scarborough Downs
Scarborough,Maine (December 29, 2011): Victory Tax overcame stiff competition in an extremely close three way race to secure Trotter of the Year honors at Scarborough Downs this season, defeating 2-time standard bearer Kerogen and Claiming Trotter of the Year Light Iron to walk away with the coveted hardware.
Owned by Kyle Gibbs of Brooks, Maine, and trained by Steven Vafiades, the five-year-old son of Victory Sam graced the winner's circle 7 times during his 2011 campaign en route to amassing $40,428 in seasonal earnings while racing exclusively within the confines of the state of Maine.
A dogged competitor, Victory Tax remained sharp throughout the long Pine Tree State season, hitting the board in 21 of 27 starts while taking his seasonal mark of 1:58.4 in a mid-summer speed show at Scarborough Downs. That clocking matched his 2010 local speed standard, a performance which etched his name in the Scarborough record books as the fastest four-year-old gelding in the 61 year history of the seaside oval.
"Kyle and I have been privileged to campaign some pretty nice horses here in Maine over the years and Victory Tax rates right up there" trainer Steven Vafiades said, "He's an honest trotter who always tries his best. I'm happy we can showcase him in front of the local fans and it's an honor to accept this award on his behalf."
Victory Tax closed out the season strong, posting an impressive 1:59.1 romp on the closing day of the Scarborough meeting, on a windswept and bone-chilling late December day - going out a winner in similar fashion as 2011 Pacer of the Year, Malek Hanover.
The great ones just know how to make an exit.
Malek Hanover Named 2011 Pacer of the Year at Scarborough Downs
Scarborough, Maine (December 28, 2011): Malek Hanover claimed top dog status at Scarborough Downs this season, dominating the voting for Pacer of the Year honors much as he dominated his competition on the raceway throughout all of 2011.
The 7-year-old son of Western Hanover remained at the top of his game throughout the nine-month
Malek
“His owner, Allison Derrah [of Arnprior, Ontario, Canada], passed away 2 years ago but the estate wanted to continue to race Malek so we kept him in training," trainer Bo Sowers said. "He continues to race at the top of his game and I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue to work with this fine racehorse. He's taking a well-deserved break from the rigors of the raceway right now but he'll be back, hopefully to defend this honor next season."

Scarborough Downs to honor 10 Standardbred racehorses at 5th annual retirement ceremony
Scarborough, Maine (Dec. 13, 2011): Scarborough Downs will pay tribute to ten race horses who are retiring this season with a special ceremony during the last day of the 2011 racing season, Sunday December 18th. Post time is 12:05 pm. There ceremony will take place after Race 6.
The event will honor nine 14-year-old Standardbred racehorses that at one time raced at the
“These noble animals have delighted us at the races year after year and now that their athletic careers have come to conclusion, it's only fitting that they be sent off to retirement in the grandest manner,” said Publicity Director, Mike Sweeney. “Standardbred race horses are versatile and sturdy stock and these ten have bright futures and many years left ahead of them. We send them off to their new careers with appreciation for past accomplishments and anticipation of great things to come.”
The group of horses scheduled to participate in the ceremony, which is made up of 7 pacers and 3 trotters, all “boys,” is:
A special program is being put together with pictures and write-ups of each horse (listing everything from favorite snack to career accomplishments), and what their retirement plans are. Some will become riding horses, some are already champion show horses, and some will enjoy a quiet retirement on a farm. Horses that are up for adoption will have the owner’s contact information listed.
The Maine Standardbred Pleasure Horse Organization, an organization which retrains Standardbreds to become riding, or “pleasure” horses, will have an information booth in the Grandstand, and the public will have access to the horses used for marshaling. Scarborough Downs live racing post time is 12:05 pm. Admission is free.

Sweet Performance Nets Sweet Reward for Soul Chaser
Scarborough, Maine (December 4, 2011) – Class came through in the eighth at Scarborough Downs on Sunday as the venerable Soul Chaser graced the winner’s circle for the 53rd time in his illustrious career. The son of Kentucky Spur and career winner of over $680,000 ground out the hard earned victory in overland fashion as driver Drew Campbell pulled the aged campaigner first over prior to reaching the 3/8th marker. Toiling on the rim through a legitimate back-half of 58.3, the 10-year-old veteran refused to go away, seemingly willing himself to pass the wire on top in an ultra-gritty performance.
"He's perfect to work with, a perfect gentleman in the barn," said trainer Bo Sowers. "I hardly get to jog him because he's so easy to get along with. If anyone comes to the barn and wants to try jogging a horse for the first time, they jog Soul Chaser."
Accomplished performers like Soul Chaser invariably possess an uncanny awareness that they really are something special and develop certain habits in and around the stables that become unique to themselves.
"David MacDonald bought him in an on-line auction a month and a half ago and it didn't take us long to figure out he was a ham," Sowers continued. "He makes faces at everyone trying to get attention but what he really wants are Tim Horton's doughnuts. He's got a certified sweet tooth and he makes sure everybody knows it."
It's a pretty safe bet that Soul Chaser will be insisting on a pit stop at the doughnut shop on the trailer ride home. That's the sweet price for success and a reward well earned.
Shawn Gray Solidifies His North American UDRS Lead
Scarborough, Maine (December 3, 2011) - Shawn Gray put on a driving clinic at Scarborough Downs on Saturday scoring 4 wins on the 12 race program while ably demonstrating the grit and talent that has made him the highest rated UDRS driver in all of North America this season.
The state of
Not to be outdone by his stablemate, Vas Vixen quickly followed Red Bullet into the winners circle, claiming top honors in the afternoon's fourth. On an extremely fast Scarborough surface, the 10-year-old son of Dream Away scored his 9th win of the year in a seasonal best 1:56.2, while cracking the top-three placings for the 18th time from 19 seasonal starts.
Gray's catch-driving prowess then took over as the man in blue and white scored wins behind Inthepockethistime (1:58.3) before steering the venerable Rupert Rupert (1:56.3) to his 61st career victory.
A well-conditioned and classified stable coupled with a full engagement of top-level catch driving opportunities seems the winning strategy for Shawn Gray and his 2011 assault on the prestigious North American UDRS championship.
In other news, 18-year old rookie teamster, Aaron Hall secured his first extended Pari-mutuel win on Saturday, rallying late to just get up with Fulla Fire whom he drove for his dad, Craig. Off to a fast start in his career, Saturday's win came in only his 2nd start after recently being elevated to provisional driver status by the Scarborough Downs judges.
The Race for Top Dog Status Continues at Scarborough
Scarborough, Maine (December 2, 2011) - Kevin Switzer maintained the winning edge at Scarborough Downs on Friday as the man in Blue and Black continued on his quest for his first driving championship at the seaside oval. Switzer began the day 12 wins the best over perennial powerhouse Drew Campbell and maintained that advantage as both drivers swapped appearances in the winners circle, scoring one win apiece on the eleven-race program.
Switzer's score came early on as he engineered the winning strategy behind the veteran trotter Better By Design, ushering the 11-year-old son of
With only 8 performances remaining in Scarborough Downs' 2011 meeting, the race for top-dog status could well come right down to the wire as the December 18 closing day looms ever closer. The jeweler has been put on notice - the championship trophy may have to be engraved on the meet's final day.
Maine Harness Racing Gives Back Raises over $5,000 for 3 Maine
By Susan Higgins for Scarborough
Scarborough, Maine (November 7, 2011) – Scarborough Downs and the Maine Harness Horsemen’s Association are pleased to announce that Sunday’s (11/6) Maine Harness Racing Gives Back event raised a total of $5,234.00 for three Maine charities. The Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals, the Maine Cancer Foundation, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Southern Maine will each receive a check for $1,745.
Donations came in the form of driver purse monies, T-shirt and raffle sales, and one half of the 50/50 raffle. There was also a private donation of $1,000 from horse owner, Alfred Ross of
Trainer Bo Sowers got things started off right with a win in the first of the Amateur Drivers races with No Shoes, which benefitted the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals, a Windham, Maine-based equine rescue organization.
Hometown darling, Charlene Cushing, won both divisions of the Mildred Williams Women’s Driving Series, which benefitted the Maine Cancer Foundation. “I feel really honored to be competing with these great women drivers,” said Cushing in the Winner’s Circle, referring to Stacey Lord, Cathy Smith, Donna Smith, Kandace Schooley, Debbie Freeman, and Jolene Andrews. All the horses in this race were donned in pink ribbons in their manes as a symbol of breast cancer awareness.
Three divisions of the Brothers Challenge races were contested, in which harness racing brothers Drew and Heath Campbell, Wally and Kenny Watson, Ron and Mike Cushing, and Ivan and Owen Davies competed for the organization Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Southern Maine. Drew Campbell was the winner in the first split with Rompaway Zane. “I looked around for Heath (with Dr Prescription, who was heavily favored to win), but he was nowhere to be found, where was he?” asked the elder Campbell who enjoyed ribbing his brother. But in the second split, it was Heath who claimed victory with Keystone Howie over his brother Drew and Emery Ho in a tight photo finish. Heath, not one to miss an opportunity to do his own ribbing said, “I guess Drew found out where I was in this race!”
Ron Cushing won the third Brothers Challenge, putting a new lifetime mark on Too Busy ToBe Bad.
Maine Harness Racing Gives Back T-shirts (in pink and sand) are still available for $10 with all monies going directly to the charities.

The Best of
By Michael Sweeney for Scarborough
From this reporter’s perspective, the day was an unquestionable success. I have worked at Scarborough Downs since the early 1980s, I’ve witnessed the “Hey Day” of harness racing in Southern Maine, and the atmosphere at the old facility was reminiscent of that hey day. The racing was outstanding, the crowds were cheering, and the handle was the highest since the mid 1990s.
Iza Bella capped off a brilliant stakes career by adding the 3-year-old filly trotting championship to the freshman crown that she won last season, claiming her 15th career victory from only 23 lifetime starts. Owned by Michael Andrew of
“I started the year with 14 Maine-breds in training, and ended up with only three,” said Andrew. “It looks easy when you get a winner like this one, but it’s a long road to the finals.”
Stone Hollow Goblin (Kevin Switzer) was second; Road Show Star (Greg Bowden) overcame a driver’s objection to remain third.
Matching Iza Bella’s prolific performance, Cyber Cast capped an equally brilliant stakes career on Sunday, winning the $85,059 colt trotting division and claiming his 16th career victory from 25 lifetime starts. Owned by the highly-esteemed consortium of Thomas Dillon and Walter Hight, the son of Current Cast was driven to victory by Mark Athearn for veteran-trainer Donald Richards.
“Donny is a very dedicated and hard-working individual and whatever success we’ve enjoyed in the business, a good portion of that has always depended on Don Richards.” said Thomas Dillion in the Winner’s Circle.
Co-owner Walter Hight remarked, “we’ve had two race in the Hambletonian and one make it to the Little Brown Jug, but it’s still so much more fun to race our horses here at home.”
Serious Kid (Ruel Goodblood, Jr.) was second; Katahdin Raymond (Scott McKenzie) was third.
Continuing with the trend of expected favorites shining through, TheNor’easterBeast did not disappoint in the $85,204 colt pacing final. The son of Western Cyclone backed up last season’s freshman sire stakes championship with a hard-fought and well-engineered victory on Sunday with Gary Mosher sulky-sitting for trainer David Crochere.
The front-running Beast overcame extreme adversity, getting collared up the backstretch by a hard-charging Western’s Ball (Ron Cushing). Seemingly puzzled at finding himself in the unaccustomed position of behind passed at that point in the mile, this colt dug down deep, reorganized himself, and began a three-wide assault at the top of the stretch, getting up in the final strides to claim the well-earned victory. “I was so was nervous, I thought my heart stopped four times,” said owner Jack Kelley of the East Pond Stables of Oakland, ME. “Give credit to David Crochere for keeping this horse going through 12 races and the finals. It’s a great testament to his ability and determination.”
Cool Fast Cash (Kevin Switzer, Jr.) charged hard to secure the place; Rambling Jet (Jason Bartlett) was third.
In a major upset, CBF Fancy persevered in the tightest of photo finishes over heavily favored Barbra Ann in the $85,156 filly pace division. So tight was the margin of victory that the judges were forced to call for an enlargement of the photo finish print in order to determine the final outcome. The daughter of Western Cyclone, owned by Glenn Harris of
“I got him this time,” said Switzer, Jr., in response to a query as to how it felt to beat his father’s horse, Barbra Ann, at the wire. “I want to thank my wife and son, they’ve been very supportive of me over the last couple of years and are a major part of my success.”
Barbra Ann (Jason Bartlett) was second; Pembroke Bow Bow (Drew Campbell) was third.

Maeve is out, Barbra Ann draws post position 8, and Jason Bartlett jets in from New York with $85,000 on the line

Scarborough, Maine – October 14, 2011 - The Maine Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association and Scarborough Downs present the “Richest Day in Maine Harness Racing” with the Maine Breeders Stakes 3-Year-Old Trotting and Pacing Finals, slated for Sunday, October 16, 2011. Post time is 12:05 pm. The top 8 horses in each of the four divisions will vie for total purses in excess of $380,000.
Maine horse owners from all corners of the state will be entering their prized 3-year-old trotters and pacers in hopes of gaining the lion’s share of these purses.
“When the stakes program started out in the late 70s, purses totaled about $40,000,” said MSBOA President Emeritus, Jean Emerson. “This is very encouraging for the industry to have them over 8 times higher today.”
But as horsemen know, post position is everything, and can mean the difference between first place and last. Thursday, the MSBOA held the draw for Sunday’s Stakes Finals and there were audible sighs of relief and disappointment from those in attendance as the numbers came in.
Kevin Switzer, who drew post position 8 with Barbra Ann in the filly pace division, was disappointed, but not discouraged. “I said I didn’t like the 8 hole, I didn’t say we weren’t going to win!” He is relinquishing Barbra Ann’s reins once again to Yonkers top driver and Maine-native, Jason Bartlett, who had a victory with the filly pacer as a 2-year-old. The plan was that Switzer would drive Maeve in the same division. But Maeve is out due to a tendon injury. When Bartlett heard the news, he called Switzer, “Do you still want me to drive?” Switzer’s reply: “You won last year, didn’t you?” Switzer said he’s just going to be on the sidelines this year, gritting his teeth.
Barbra Ann’s biggest threat, said Switzer, in order, is the Gordon Corey-trained Magic Card (who drew the 5 post), the Watson stable entry, Cyclone Lily (who drew the 4 post), and the William Varney entry, Pembroke Bow Bow (in the 7 spot), who had beaten Meave at Windsor this past summer in 1:56.2. Swtizer said, “I’m confident. It’s ok. The plan is to hit the field with sparks flying.”
Doors open at 11 am. Dining in The Downs Club features a complete ham dinner for $10.99 + tax. Reservations can be made by calling 207-883-3022.
The fall race meet kicks off at The Downs on Friday, October 14, 2011 at 12:05 pm, with live harness racing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 12:05 pm.

One Little Star wasted little time in declaring that upsets may well be the order of the day as the 2-year-old daughter of War Paint, making only her second career start, upset the undefeated Pembroke Picture, who made a costly misstep just moments after the start. One Little Star capitalized on that miscue throwing in a faultless performance, driving hard to the wire to secure the lion’s share of the $57,371 purse, stopping the clock in a lifetime best of 2:06.3.
“When I saw Pembroke Picture go off stride, I thought all I had to do was keep her trotting and I’d have a chance,” said trainer/driver Kevin Switzer. “I’ve got to thank my wife, Dr. Denise McNItt -- this filly came to us with a pretty serious injury, and through her hard work we were able to get her to the races just in time.”
One Little Star is owned and was bred by George Bullukian of
The Don Richard’s-trained entry of Current Crisis and Bank Bailout, proved too much for the rest of the field as Current Crisis strode with determination to the wire to claim victory in the $57,338 colt trotting division final in a lifetime best of 2:03.4. Mark Athearn drove for long-time state of
Denver Cyclone proved much the best in the $57,594 colt pacing final, taking the lead and never looking back en route to a brand new track record of 1:57.3. Shawn Gray, catch driving for regular pilot Wally Watson, who remains sidelined and is recuperating from injuries sustained at the Skowhegan Fair, remarked after the race, “He’s a nice little horse. You can do whatever you want with him. He’s a natural.”
“He’s the nicest horse that I’ve ever had anything to do with,” said trainer Wally Watson. ”You show him one thing once, and he gets it, immediately. It’s like dealing with a five-year-old.”
Denver Cyclone is owned and bred by Alfred Ross of
Royal Knockout delivered the one-two punch in the $57,466 filly pacing final with driver/trainer Michael Graffam cruising around the oval in gate-to-wire fashion, stopping the clock in a lifetime best of 1:59.4.
“I knew she could get off the gate pretty good after that Skowhegan mile,” said Graffam, “so for me, the plan was to go to the front, and don’t look back.” Harness racing is first and foremost a family affair when it comes to the Graffam Stable, and Mike’s Grandmother, Ruth Norton celebrated with the family in the Winner’s Circle ceremony. “I thought that was a wonderful race for Mike and for Knockout,” she remarked. “He was the perfect horse for the day.”
Royal Knockout, the daughter of Ashlee’s Big Guy is owned by the consortium of Michael Graffam, William Arnold and Richard Shaw. Magically (Gary Mosher) was second and Ashlee’s Cool Gal (Mark Athearn) was third.
The Sire Stakes championships brought down the curtain on the 2011 summer meet. The Downs now takes a one-month hiatus, and live racing returns on Friday, October 14th with a post time of 12:05 with live racing on Fridays, Saturday and Sundays at 12:05 until December 18th.
Maeve Trumps Own Track Record in Epic Performance at Scarborough Downs

Owned and trained by Switzer, the Maine-bred Miss solidified her standing as divisional track-record holder at the
With big hoof-steps to fill and Kevin Switzer again calling the shots, Maeve’s stable-mate, Barbra Ann, took to the raceway in the day’s 2nd Maine Sire Stakes division, employing a similar front-running strategy while posting an in-hand 4-1/4 length victory over Pembroke Bow Bow (Heath Campbell) and Siberian Rose (Drew Campbell) timed in 1:56.4. This Maine-bred daughter of Goin To The Beach, owned by the KDK Standardbreds of Cumberland, Maine, won for the 14th time from only 17 career starts. She is the reigning 2-year-old Maine Sire Stakes Champion and current freshman divisional track-record holder at Scarborough Downs.
The two stakes victories added to overnight scores resulted in five driving wins for Kevin Switzer from Sunday’s nine-race program, with four of them coming from his very own roster of trainees, once again lending credence to the latest handicapping theory to be in fashion at the Seaside Oval: If it’s Sunday you’ve got to bet on Switzer.
Live harness racing continues at Scarborough Downs Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week at 4:00 PM (EDT), with post time for the popular Sunday matinee slated for 1:05 PM.

Maeve in Track Record Performance at Scarborough Downs
By Michael Sweeney for Scarborough
Scarborough, Maine (Sunday, June 26, 2011) – The Maine Sire Stakes Program kicked off its 2011 season on Sunday (6/26) as the 3-year-old filly pacing division struck the colors at Scarborough Downs. Three divisions went post-ward for purses of $9,820 apiece, but it was the a filly named Maeve who stole the show en route to establishing a new track standard, circumnavigating the Seaside Oval timed in 1:57.1. That effort supplants the previous benchmark (1:57.2) which had been held by the immortal Maine-bred, Gypsy, since 1999.
Maeve, the 3-year-old daughter of Veeza, out of the broodmare Dynamite Donna, is owned, trained and was driven to victory on Sunday by
“The thing is, I really like this filly,” said Denise McNitt, DVM, Swtizer’s wife, “and while you never know what’s going to happen in a stakes race, I can say she raced good.”
