The Wisconsin Harness Racing Hall of Fame
Do you know someone that deserves to be in the Wisconsin Harness Racing Hall
of Fame? If so, now is your chance to nominate that person for consideration to
be inducted at annual meeting of the Wisconsin Harness Horse Association.
There are 4 categories for which to nominate;
1. Living
2. Immortal
3. Equine
4. Family
Guidelines for nominations are that the person being nominated should have contributed significantly to Wisconsin harness racing as a breeder, an owner, a trainer, or a driver and/or through organizational leadership or should have achieved national prominence in one of the foregoing categories and have significant Wisconsin attachments.
In the equine category, the performance of the horse should be viewed as exceptional when compared to other horses competing in the industry at the time. Nominee should have achieved prominence in racing or reproduction and should have done so (in part, at least) in Wisconsin.
The family category should be a Wisconsin family encompassing at least three generations of active participation in harness racing with a positive impact.
Please send your nominations, with supporting documentation, to Board Member Susan Schroeder.
