With a small but mighty field of entrants so far, the United States Harness Writers Association (USHWA) Canadian Chapter has extended the deadline to enter its first Youth Race-Calling Contest for all youth, age 21 or under.
The US Harness Writers Association (USHWA) Youth Membership Committee closed 2021/22 nominations on July 5. Today (July 20), we would like to welcome two young men for whom harness racing is a true calling : The newest USHWA Youth members are Dylan Daugherty and Justin Turnbull. Their first-year membership dues are kindly sponsored by Tim Konkle, editor of Midwest Harness Report magazine.
Dylan Daugherty is 11 years old. His mother Debbie and the Pennsylvania Horse Racing Association’s (PHHA) Seth Dowling supported his nomination as an USHWA Youth member. “My favourite Standardbred horses racing are Rising MVP, because it s my grandfather s horse, Foiled Again, and Father Son, a two-year-old trotting colt who my grandmother and I own together,” Dylan shared by e-mail.
