Every sport has an event which symbolizes the greatness of the game.

In the world of standardbred athletes, athletes, the great event for trotting horses is undoubtedly the Hambletonian. Hambletonian. The race is only for the best three-year-old trotters, and was named after the immortal trotter, Hambletonian, whose blood flows through every standardbred today. The purists in the sport of harness harness racing claim the trotter as the ideal and the win of all wins. The most-sought-after trophy is the silver silver from the Hambletonian, and the lions share of the $1 million purse.
