The Meadows-based Harness Racing Hall of Famer is nearing the record for all-time victories by a North American driver, a mark that has stood since 1971. Palone has 15,171 wins and is 10 shy of breaking the once-unapproachable mark of 15,180 set by legendary Canadian Herve Filion.

I'm late with this, but the above sentence doesn't make sense. If Filion held the old record (and he did), then the record couldn't have stood since 1971, since Filion was driving full-time well into the 2000s.Originally Posted by PJMIII
It's poorly worded.
In 1971, Filion broke the record for most career wins with something over 3,400 wins. He added to his total after that and continued to hold the record until it was broken by Palone.
When men once get the habit of helping themselves to the property of others they are not easily cured of it. - New York Times, July 8, 1909
