Hockey and Horses are Brad Maxwell’s Life

Given that he’s only been training back full time for four years after leaving the sport to pursue a career as an assistant coach in the Ontario Hockey League, trainer Brad Maxwell is doing quite well.

The onetime conditioner of standout horses such as Elegantimage, Pure Ivory, Windsong Espoir and Beastmaster, to name a few of the good ones he had before exiting harness racing to concentrate on coaching, has a modest stable of nine horses. Among them is two-year-old pacing colt sensation Control The Moment, who increased his career record to seven wins in as many starts and upped his career earnings to $440,687 with an authoritative outing in the $685,000 Metro Pace last Saturday at Mohawk Racetrack.
