Brad Forward Moving Forward In His Life And
Career
By Perry Lefko
It has been more than six months since he returned to
actively racing since he was fully exonerated for an offence
that nearly ruined his career and his life, and it has been
anything but easy for Brad Forward, the onetime
dash-winning driver in Canada.
Forward has battled
injuries and a ban by
the biggest racing
organization in Ontario
to let him drive on its
tracks, but he is taking it
day by day, hoping to
return to the glory days
before everything fell
apart.
"It's great being back
doing what you love to
do," he told Harness
Racing Update in an
exclusive interview. "To
be away from it for so
long, it seems like your
life was just stripped
from you. I look at it
completely different now
Brad Forward’s life and career are that I'm back driving. I
back on track
love driving. I always
did. I'm pretty happy to
get my life back. This was my life. This was all I ever did. To
have it stripped from me just tore me apart."
The 41-year-old native Newfoundlander led Canada
drivers in wins in 2008 with 582 and placed in the top-10 in
earnings with a career-best $3.9 million, doing it almost
exclusively on the B circuit. It had been the third consecutive
year he topped $3 million in earnings.
He kept up the pace the following season with 516 wins,
placing second to Jody Jamieson, who recorded a Canadian
record 787 victories, and again eclipsed the $3 million mark.
He also represented Canada in the World Driving
Championships in Norway. He also led all drivers in the
Ontario Sires Stakes program for the second consecutive
year. He finished runnerup to Jamieson in the voting for
Canada's top driver award.
"I was really on top of my game," he said. "It's hard to
explain when you are. It's almost like you can't make a
wrong move. To be nominated for an O'Brien Award is just
unbelievable."
He had won more than 4,000 races and in excess of $24
million in purses when his career came to a grinding halt
early in September, 2010 when he and two other drivers,
Gene Piroski and Kevin Wallis, were fined and suspended
after an investigation by the Ontario Racing Commission.
The drivers were alleged to have conspired to affect the
outcome of races at Windsor Raceway. Forward, leading
the nation in wins that year, received a five-year
suspension and a $5,000 fine. PIroski received 10 years
and a $100,000 fine, while Wallis received 12 years and a
$100,000 fine.
In the aftermath of the suspension, Forward returned
home to Newfoundland and didn't leave his room for two
months, refusing to speak to people, even the ones who
reached out to him to offer support. His marriage fell apart
and he lapsed into a deep depression and required
medication.
"To me it was just devastation from what (the ORC) did,"
he said. "It was like, 'who's going to believe me? Nobody's
going to believe me.' They're going to think 'here you are,
you've been convicted of something, you cheated.' So I
just walked away from it. Everything just seemed to get
worse and worse. There were times I thought I was never
going to get out of this slump that I was in. I really didn't. I
just expected the worse for everything. I just didn't have
that get-up-and-go anymore."
In 2005, he received a suspension from the ORC for
testing positive and had to spend time in rehab. He turned

his life around and focused on his career. And then five
years later he had to face the prospect of losing it all, or at
least having it shut down for several years.
"There were some dark days," he said. "I just couldn't deal
with what was going on in my life between losing my family,
losing my career. Everything I always wanted to do was
drive horses and here I had that taken away from me."
Forward's brother, Scott, did his best to lift his spirits,
telling him God works in mysterious ways.
"I was thinking it is funny the way it works. I don't
understand," Forward said. "I know if I did something wrong,
by all means. But I know I'm a good person. I know what I
had done in my career. I admitted to my faults. I knew the
things they accused me of were not true. It didn't happen.
But here you are getting accused of something by high
people. I felt like I was at a losing point."
His three daughters - Katelyn, 17, Melissa, 14, and
Jessica, 10 - meant the world to him, so he had to refocus.
He worked two jobs to make money and gradually started to
put his life back in order.
The ORC cleared Piroski and Wallis six months after the
original charges, but it took six months longer for Forward to
be exonerated. It wasn't until the fall that he received his
license to race again. By that point, he had almost
considered quitting.
"I owe my Mom and Dad a lot," he recalled. "They said,
'This is what you always wanted. This is what you were good
at. Go back and do it. You're miserable here.' It took some
encouragement from them. It was tough. It really was. It's
just the way I am. I felt everybody's going to look at me and
I'm going to have trouble getting drives. I was really doubting
myself. I knocked myself. I was my worst enemy. Everybody
else had faith in me and believed in me."
His emotional ties to his children actually made him return
home when he attempted to leave to return to Ontario.
"I hated to leave," he said. "I'm very soft. I broke down. I
was in tears. I'm really close with my kids. Having to leave
them was the hardest thing. Not too many people know this."
Forward, the most accomplished horsemen in a long line
of family members and relatives, drove some of his brother's
horses back home to prepare himself for his return. On
December 1, 2012, 16 months after the ORC laid its
charges, Forward returned to racing, driving at Georgian
Downs in Barrie, Ontario. In his fourth of seven drives, he
won his first race. Later that day, he drove in seven races at
Flamboro Downs in Dundas and won his second race.
"To get those couple wins was phenomenal," he said. "It
was very exciting because it's a struggle. I was thinking 'I
don't got it. I think I've lost it.' It just didn't feel right being out
for so long. Being off that long you've got it all in your head,
but getting back out there physically it took awhile and even
now I'm not to where I was when I left it in 2010. You don't
realize how sharp some of these drivers are. It's coming
back, but I'm not where I was."
Six weeks into his return, he suffered a broken ankle in a
racing mishap that sidelined him for three months and left
him wondering again about his circumstances. Not long after
his return, he found himself in another accident, this time
breaking a rib. But he refused to take time off.
On May 19, he won six consecutive races and seven
overall at Rideau-Carleton Raceway in Ottawa. A week
later, he won five races on a card. He used to repeatedly
win in bunches.
"Now it's like a snowball," he said. "Things are rolling
together good. I'm getting good drives. I'm getting live
mounts (from) good trainers. The horsemen were totally
behind me. I'd be lost without them. I really would. Without
them I wouldn't have anything. I'm very grateful for that.
They've always supported me. When I did come back, just
to see the support I got was phenomenal. When I was
coming back, some of the trainers called me and (listed
him) to drive. Once you showed up at the tracks,
eventually more and more trainers starting (hiring him). It
was just a matter of showing up and I just picked up as I
went along."
In 505 races this year, he had 92 wins, 61 seconds and
63 thirds and purse earnings of $428,139. He is hoping for
bigger and better things, but has some challenges ahead.
Woodbine Entertainment Group, which owns and operates
Woodbine and Mohawk, is refusing to allow him to drive at
those tracks, despite trainers listing him for races. A WEG
spokesman did not want to comment on the matter.
So Forward is racing at B tracks, sometimes twice in a
day, including Rideau-Carleton, which is a five-hour drive
from where he is residing. His cousin, trainer Gary
McDonald, who is based at Rideau-Carleton, told him he'd
let him drive all his horses when he returned.

Hambletonian Notes: Hambletonian favorite Wheeling N Dealin breezed through another qualifier Wednesday at
Mohawk, winning by nine lengths in 1:57.1 “We weren’t looking to go any faster,” trainer
Dustin Jones said. “We were just looking to get some work into him. He went to the half
in 59.3 and finished the last half in 57.3 and the last quarter in 28 and he wasn’t even
blowing afterwards.” Jones said the colt will have one more qualifier before he goes in
his first pari-mutuel race of the year. Jones is hoping the Mohawk racing department will
put together a race that Wheeling N Dealing is eligible for during the first week in July.
After that, he will either go in the Dancer at the Meadowlands or in a July 18
Pennsylvania Sire Stakes race at Chester. “Whether he goes to the Dancer or to
Chester, we’re going to play it by ear,” Jones said. “Right now everything is good,
everything is right where we want it to be. He’s in great shape, is eating good and stayed
healthy all winter.” Murmur Hanover, who was third in last year’s Breeders Crown,
appeared in the same Wednesday qualifier at Mohawk, finishing a well-beaten third. He

"I lost faith in everything," he added in reference to what

Googoo Gaagaa Back On Track
Owner and trainer Richard Hans received much
welcome news Tuesday when surgeons at the New Bolton
Center gave Googoo Gaagaa a clean bill of health. The 4year-old trotter has been battling problems with his
epiglottis.
“They scoped him and said he’s pretty much healed,”
Hans said. “About all he needs now is two more weeks.”
Googoo Gaagaa was off the board in his only two starts
this year, a clear indication that something was troubling
him. It turned out that he was not able to breathe properly
because of on-going problems with the epiglottis.
“The surgeon said it had been entrapped for so long that
it got really thick,” Hans said. “They had to laser parts of it
off. It will never look normal again, but that’s nothing to
worry about.”
Hans said it is too early to map out any racing plans for
his star, but said he will return to the races before the year
is over.

Racehorse Drug Testing Gets A Boost From
Multiple Donations To Penn Vet’s New Bolton
Center
Three prominent horsemen’s organizations have provided
over $700,000 in equipment and supplies for research that is
already well underway.
Kennett Square, PA– Advanced equipment and supplies
recently donated by leading horsemen’s organizations have
given the New Bolton Center at the University of
Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine a powerful
forensic research tool for the development of innovative
racehorse drug testing protocols.
The Pennsylvania Harness
Horsemen’s Association
(PHHA), a trade group that
represents industry

racing tracks, donated
approximately $470,000 to

characterize medications that can enhance performance
and/or cause potential harm to the health, welfare and
safety of equine athletes. It is capable of analyzing
changes in proteins that may be related to the
administration of drugs and shock wave therapy.
“Plain and simple, we want a clean sport,” said Sam
Beegle, president of the PHHA. “This grant is part of our
ongoing investments to ensure a level playing field, and
keep horses healthy and safe.”
In addition, two other prominent horsemen’s
organizations will provide hundreds of thousands of dollars
in software, supplies and accessories for the research
project. The Meadows Standardbred Owners Association
(MSOA), which represents horsemen at The Meadows
Racetrack & Casino near Pittsburgh, and the Pennsylvania
Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, which
provides services for horsemen at both Penn National in
Grantville and Presque Isle Downs in Erie, have so far
contributed over $250,000 for the same goal.
New Bolton Center’s Dr. Lawrence Soma said that while
instances of positive drug tests are relatively low, the
forensic laboratory can only test for known substances.
“It’s a moving target because new medications are
constantly coming into use. These gifts are an essential
part of our efforts to stay ahead of the curve.”
In just a few short months since the equipment has been
in use, researchers have made significant progress on
multiple fronts. For example, studies are near completion

Pennsylvania Horsemen Want to Clean Up Their
Game
By Bill Finley
Adhering to a code of Omerta that is part of the racetrack
culture, honest horsemen have traditionally had very little to
say about dishonest horsemen. Nor have they done much of
anything to help clean up the game. Which is inexplicable.
When a horse hopped up on something a lot stronger than
hay, oats and water wins a race the guys who play by the
rules and finished second or worse are literally robbed.
When the game is not on the level no one–not gamblers, not
track management, not drivers–is harmed more than honest
trainers and owners.
Which is why it is so refreshing to see that three
horsemen's associations, two of which represent harness
horsemen, have gotten together and donated $700,000 for
the Pennsylvania drug testing lab to purchase equipment.
The Pennsylvania authorities used the money to buy a
machine that will make it easier for them to detect illegal
substances in horses and catch someone when they use
shockwave therapy within seven days of a race, which is
prohibited.
"Plain and simple, we want a clean sport," said Sam
Beegle, president of the PHHA. "This grant is part of our
ongoing investments to ensure a level playing field, and
keep horses healthy and safe."
The PHHA (Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen's
Association) donated $470,000 for the machine and the rest
of the money came from the Meadows Standardbred
Owners Association and the group representing
thoroughbred horsemen at Penn National and Presque Isle
Downs.
What's particularly interesting about the new equipment, a
mass spectrometer, is that the machine is a tool that could
prove to be invaluable and make it much harder to get
away with illegal doping. Racing's game of cops and
robbers is too often won by the robbers because there are
always new drugs out there that are, for a number of
reasons, undetectable.
In Pennsylvania they are working on a new paradigm.
Because they know standard blood and urine tests will not
catch a lot of what is out there they are developing
methods to detect changes in the horse's bodies that can
only be caused by the use of illegal substances. Drugs do
more than make a horse race faster;
they can cause changes in the
horse's DNA or the proteins in the
body. Human sports, and in
particular bicycling, are using similar
methods to catch cheaters. Find
these changes in the bodies of the
horse or the Tour de France rider
and you have, for all practical
purposes, found the use of illegal
drugs.
The machine donated by Pennsylvania horsemen is
being used for just this purpose. They have a ways to go
before perfecting their work, but thanks to the horsemen
the scientist working in the Pennsylvania lab have a tool at
their disposal that could represent a major breakthrough in
the fight to level the playing field.
"If you don't have any imagination, if you don't say listen
we are going to try this, it is an approach and it may take
two or there years to go down this path the you risk never
making the sort of advances we need to make," said Dr.
Lawrence Soma, who, along with Dr. Cornelius Uboh,
heads the equine drug testing program in Pennsylvania.
There's not a drug testing lab in the country that wouldn't
want or doesn't need this particular equipment. Because
equine drug testing is a low priority for most states most
labs don't have the money to buy such sophisticated
equipment. If not for the horsemen's associations,
Pennsylvania wouldn't have, either.
The irony is that while Pennsylvania has gone to the
trouble to have arguably the best drug testing lab in the
country it's the same state that is far too lenient when it
comes to licensing miscreants. Unless you're Walter Case
Jr., who has never cheated in a race in his life, you cannot
not get licensed in Pennsylvania, no matter how egregious
your offenses might have been.
That's another issue the harness horsemen in the state
should attack, convincing the commission and racetrack
managements to keep out those who have lost the right to
participate in the sport. They owe that to the vast majority
of their memberships, people who work hard and play the
game right. But that's a complaint for another day.
The PHHA and MSOA stepped up, came up with a lot of
money and has helped it easier for every honest guy in the
game to win races. They have taken up a cause that every
honest person in harness racing should rally around, and
they are to be commended.

square price should he manage to step up and surprise
once again.

Race 7, Cathedra Final
It's almost not fair for Dauplaise that his entry draws into
posts 9 and 10 but at least it'll make this mini-series final
more intriguing. CAROLSIDEAL has been dominant in both
her series starts and if not for the starting slot would be
much closer to a cinch. This one overcame a similar post
two back; no doubt about the strategy. SHAKER REI moves
almost all the way inside and Gazzerro has earned respect
driving; playable. CROWN LADY didn't have the same
punch last out that she had two back but is still capable. DE
VINS GIRL continues to jump up with big miles every now
and then; CHEYENNE PATTI might not be worth the
anticipated short price.
Race 8, N/W 2 Trot
RARING TO GO S jogged here two back to begin her
sophomore campaign and won over this track last year as a
2-year-old in 1:55:4. This one broke last out in her
Elegantimage elimination but that 1:53 mile clocking might
have been a bit too quick for her anyway. A square priced
threat for top trotting barn. AMALFI COAST broke in all
three of her recent NJSS engagements here which isn't
good, but on her best she can go with these. Should still be
respected from out of the Sylvester barn. MISS STEELE is
an obvious short priced threat for Andy and Julie as the
class of the field; sneaks in here under the N/W 3 condition
for fillies. KEGLAR HANOVER went a good looking qualifier
here two back; I could see him taking some action.
Race 9, F&M B/2-B/1 Pace
BULLET POINT has fired in nearly every start since arriving
in these parts a couple months ago from Canada and has
proven herself to be a serious threat against these types.
This one showed speed in her recent Yonkers Open won by
Krispy Apple and any number of her miles here from May
would be good enough. ABROKENART HANOVER picks
up Gingras after an arduous trip last out; likely to be leaving
early. MAJOR LOOK drops after racing against the FFA
mares but I'll note she failed in similar spots here many times
in May; P4 will pay out well if this one doesn't win. ODDS
ON AVENTURE was a sneaky play last week in these pages
and ran a good second at 13/1; now makes her second start
back while drawing well. HULA'S Z TAM has class from the
rail
