Washington, PA — The Big Reveal is set for Saturday’s (Dec. 28) ‘Day of Champions’ when The Meadows and the Meadows Standardbred Owners Association announce and crown the track’s Pacer of the Year, Trotter of the Year and Horse of the Year. The winners in 12 other divisions already have been disclosed. All awardees were selected by a vote of MSOA membership.

Awards will be presented to the connections of all the winners during the live card, which begins at 1:05 p.m. As part of the festivities, the MSOA will give away hats commemorating Dave Palone’s 19,000th career win. The first 100 patrons are eligible.

Trainer Norm Parker will be honored for a pair of 3-year-olds, Wild Wild Western and Explosive Form, while Nick Catalano co-owns two champions, Dracarys Z and April Ava. Trainer Bill Bercury and owner Renee Bercury will accept the award for Touchamatic as Older Mare Pacer of the Year, but the honors for Bill Bercury don’t stop there.

With just a few days remaining in the year, Bercury ranks atop all trainers in harness racing (in the fewer than 300 starts category) with a remarkable .580 Universal Trainer Rating (UTR). With the second-leading trainer at .524, the national title likely will be Bercury’s.
