Best Illinois bred race horses you can name
« on: January 21, 2021, 02:48:05 PM »
Had someone tell me that chicago racing was never a mecca and no good horses came from there.   I rattled of 20 quick I could think of off the top of my head.  Give me your opinion.

I'm sure the 20 you can name come from the pacing side as Sportsmaster, Incredible Finale, and Cole Muffler longtime staples on the stud side not only turned out IL greats but horses that went around the country and won open races. Richess Hanover also had some as well. Trotting side Kadabra and Plesac probably the standouts. Lady Ann Reed. There are plenty more only bad thing the past 12-15 years you had to sell trotters after three or go out of state to race. I had one and of course my favorite in Trot Fudge Sundae. Divison champ three years in a row, tied for second in horse of the year voting as a two year old, only IL bred as a 2yr old to win the filly American National. She was all heart and went on to win opens at Hoosier, Pompano, Meadows, and Running Aces. Most of the time against the boys once she was 4.

Remember Incredible Finale was the 1st Illinois bred to earn over a million dollars.

1st Illinois bred to gain national recognition racing against the best in the country.

Took the Illinois breeding program from Ideal Society to national recognition.

Harmer's issues aside Incredible Finale elevated Illinois racing from a "B" level status.

  • dougie: Harness racing Revolution.....I understand why you feel the way you do. But like me, there are many who support the care of horses and the work that you do. Why penalize your supporters for the actions of a few misguided ignorant shit stirrers?
    August 20, 2025, 06:47:26 PM
  • Harness Racing Revolution: Here's my response, I don't care. And not a fucking thing they can do about it. Same way they choose to not care. Sorry dude.

  • dougie: Harness Racing Revolution.....I never knew the Iceland connection. I believe it when you tell me cyber harassment is illegal. But if the admins choose to do nothing, what avenue is there for the folks who want to enjoy the "horse talk" in this group?

  • Harness Racing Revolution: dougie, DDOS attacks are illegal, in this country. Plop is based in Iceland. But cyber harassment is also illegal, in the US. Most of these IPs talking shit are US based. Just saying. Admins condone it, so fuck em!  ngc3

And Haters be HATERS. In 37 years only one bothered me. And I know all ,includin my most hated. Why you think you responsible for slowdown,the same you think you know everythin is beyound me. And there are ways to correct this situation. Don't think you can beat the system.
