- Breeders Crown
The Breeders Crown is an annual series of Harness races covering each of the sport's twelve traditional categories of age, gait and gender. The series was initiated by the Hambletonian Society, promoters of the Hambletonian Stakes, in
1984 to enhance the Standardbred breeding industry and to promote the sport ofHarness racing by providing a lucrative high profile championship race in each of these categories. The annual races for 3 year old trotting colts andgeldings and 3 year old pacing colts and geldings, are each part of theGrand Slam Prize in harness racing . The races have rotated among a number of North American tracks.
