The Cam Fella Award,
named in honour of the world-class Standardbred, Cam Fella, is awarded for extreme recent meritorious service to the Canadian har- ness racing industry. Stan- dardbred
Canada
established the Cam Fella Award in 1997 because of his unparalleled contribu- tions to the sport of harness racing and ‘Cam’ was the initial recipient. The award
Ayr, Ontario
is given, when warranted, to an individual or group that has displayed some of those same qualities that made Cam Fella one of the great- est names in Canadian har- ness racing. Canadian-owned, trained
and driven, Cam Fella was an outstanding racehorse in the early 1980s. He won 56 races, over $2 million in purses and two consecutive Horse of the Year titles in North America. As a stal- lion, Cam sired numerous world champions and horses with earnings in excess of $106 million. Unfortunately, ‘Cam’ suffered from testic- ular cancer and was, in turn, retired from breeding in 1997. Cam Fella and his trainer-driver, Pat Crowe, reunited for a Good Will Tour of Canada and the United States in 1997, which generated a tremen- dous amount of positive media coverage for harness racing. Cam passed away in May of 2001 at the Ken- tucky Horse Park, where he had lived for several years and served as an outstanding ambassador of the Standard- bred breed. The creation of the Cam Fella Award was the harness racing industry’s way of ensuring that Cam’s contribution to the sport is never forgotten.
