by Greg Gangle for WEG

Toronto, ON — Sylvain Filion, the 2013 O’Brien Award winner as Canada’s top driver, will be the guest on Woodbine Racing Live’s pre-game show this Saturday, February 15, beginning at 6:45 p.m.

Filion, a resident of Milton, finished as the leading money-winning driver on the WEG circuit in 2013 with over C$5 million in purse earnings. The talented reinsman also led all drivers in the nation in purse earnings with $6.1 million.

Filion’s biggest thrill in 2013 came in the C$683,000 Metro Pace as he steered Boomboom Ballykeel to a 10-1 upset victory.

The Quebec-born driver will join WEG’s Greg Gangle and offer his thoughts on winning back-to-back O’Brien Awards along with the 11-race program.
