Craig Banks leads the Prairie Meadows driver standings with 56 starts through October 30, far outshining any other driver on the grounds. Second-leading driver Gary Mills shadows Banks with the same number of wins and a few less on-the-board finishes, but has done so in less than half the number of times in the sulky.
Banks's win percentage of 12.5 and a UDRS of .240 compares with that of Gary Mills, who recorded a win percentage of 33.3 and a UDRS of .392.
Matthew Cox (21.4 28-6-3-6 .345), Charles Conrad (28.6 21-6-4-3 .439), and Patrick Rouleau (33.3 18-6-4-0 .457) round-out the top five drivers.
Leading trainers
William Wells currently leads the Prairie Meadows trainer standings with six wins in 14 starts for a win percentage of 42.9 and a UDRS score of .516, having attained that level in half the number of starts as second-leading driver Ronald Banks (22.2 27-6-2-5 .325). Gary Mills (40.0 15-6-1-2 .481) is third in the hunt for the training title, also with six wins, as is Eric Plowman (35.3 17-6-1-3 .444). Sharon Wilkin (35.7 14-5-2-0 .437) rounds-out the top-five trainers on the standings board.
Eight days remain in the fall harness meeting at Prairie Meadows. Monday's first race post time is 6:30 p.m. (CST).
