George Brennan was 14 when he drove a horse to a paycheck for the first time. The teenager, making his only start of 1981, steered Myron’s Bunny to a fifth-place finish in an amateur race, with the trotter collecting $50 in purse money.
At the time, the Monticello, N.Y., native could not imagine what the future held. Entering Friday, Brennan has amassed 11,543 career wins, which ranks No. 10 in North American history, received consecutive Driver of the Year awards from the U.S. Harness Writers Association in 2010 and 2011, and captured many of the sport’s top races, including the Hambletonian with Broad Bahn and Hambletonian Oaks with Bold And Fresh, both in 2011.
