Dave Palone, the leading harness racing driver in North America, is five wins away from setting the world record. Palone, who grew up in Dry Tavern, won three races Wednesday at The Meadows Racetrack and has 16,749 wins.
The current record of 16,753 wins is held by Heinz Wewering of Germany. Wewering has seven drives scheduled Sunday.
Wewering, who is 64, trains about two dozen horses and his wins have come almost exclusively from horses he trains. He has been German driving champion 29 times and twice won the World Driving Championship.
Palone has 12 races Friday. The Meadows does not race on Thursdays.
