For Jeff Connelly, training standardbreds is an escape from the battles of life on the farm.
It’s something to look forward to when the times are tough and a distraction from the day-to-day grind.

But Connelly was the toast of home club Birchip on Sunday when his gelding Clontarf Guy bolted up in the McLennan Bulk Fuel Pace (2150m).
