WALES & West Harness Racing Association enjoyed a successful 2003 season, with 29 meetings staged throughout the summer.
The 292 races amounted to a staggering £125,475 prize-money on offer, all raised by the hard-working organisers of the fixtures.
Presteigne owner/trainer Julie Price will collect the case of Champagne won by her valiant 10-year-old pacer Nite'n'Gale for topping the Biotal Free For All series, and his new track-record time at Amman Valley in August earned him the Disco Dazzler trophy.
Much Cowarne-based driver Libby Lloyd partnered her exhilarating Biotal Scoot to five victories to scoop the Hereford Times trophy for the leading Herefordshire-based driver, just pipping her father, Richard Owens, who clocked up four successes.
The awards will be presented at the annual WWHRA Dinner at the Hotel Commodore, Llandrindod Wells, on Friday, December 5 .
