Harry Giddings, Jr.

Harry Giddings, Jr. (May 18, 1884 - June 15, 1949) was a Canadian owner, breeder, and trainer of thoroughbred racehorses. He was born in Trafalgar Township in Halton County, Ontario now at the outskirts of the city of Oakville. Raised on an equestrian farm, he learned about training horses from childhood and by 1907 was successful enough to have one of his horses compete in the Queen's Plate, Canada's most prestigious horse race first run in 1860. Giddings would win his first Queen's Plate in 1911 and from there went on to capture a total of eight, a record for a trainer that was tied by Roger Attfield on June 22, 2008.

Harry Giddings, Jr. maintained a stud farm near Oakville, and owned four of his eight Queen's Plate winners. He trained horses for other owners and was active in the business until his death in 1949.

Following its creation, Harry Giddings, Jr. was inducted posthumously in the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 1985.
