The Lawrence Bennett Training Center in Hawkinsville, Ga., is pleased to have several new stables for the 2015-2016 season. The new stables this season include Joe Casagranda, Curt Grummel, Thureal Harke, Dale Knox, Todd Luther, Jay Miller, Valerie Wells and Greg Wright.

The Dan Shetler Stable has returned with a stable of 30 including the standout trotting mare, Allie Labrook. Allie Labrook recently received the Older Trotting Mare of the Year Award as well as the Older Trotter of the Year Award for 2015 at the Indiana Standardbred Association awards banquet held last week in Indianapolis, Ind.

Dane May’s standout, Dinky Dune, has also returned for another season and was recently awarded the 3-year-old Colt Pacer of the Year Award at the ICF Banquet that was held on Jan. 16 in Springfield, Ill. Dinky Dune’s dream season culminated last September with a career victory of 1:51.4 in winning the $112,000 Pete Langley Memorial on Super Night.

The 43rd annual Hawkinsville Harness Festival is set for April 1 and 2 and will feature two full days of matinee racing and qualifiers along with the Smokin’ The Track BBQ competition which will be held on Saturday.
