This year, the amicable Trites has earned his place in history as the sports leading driver in our region. Todd is well-known for his loyalty for driving at several tracks including Saint John, Fredericton, Truro Raceway and can be counted on to go where he is needed during the stakes season. He has also had the opportunity to drive at Rockingham, and tracks in Ontario.

For his tremendous work ethic, dedication to the sport, and the pure love of driving, you'll find it tough to find anyone with Trites' enthusiasm. Todd received national media attention recently with a featured Trot article that documented just some of his exploits.

Even more amazing for the resident of Penniac, N.B is the fact that he is able to juggle his home life with travel throughout the season. On many trips, especially during the summer months, he is able to bring along his wife Paula and their four wonderful daughters.

Once things for sure, at this rate, we may have not even come close to what Trites can do when it comes to putting up numbers. I even heard that on a vacation to the Dominican this year the first thing he looked for was a catch-drive at a what he had hoped was a local racetrack. Now how's that for dedication.
