Linda got voted in to the HOF with only one vote
from the representative #meetoo

There is only one Minister in Harness Racing and his name is WEED!

Pelling will be for sure, no need to rush
Mark Ford and Virgil Morgan are not in the same league as Brett Pellng. It’s a disgrace how he’s not in the HOF and I agree it’s even more of a travesty that Linda is in there before Brett

As somebody said earlier its based on her being an aged out woman trainer of some notoriety. Because, she certainly does not compare in accomplishments to the other HOF Piers.

Also Billy Popfinger and Chris Boring before Brett is a joke.   Of course, Virgil Morgan and Mark Ford are not in the same league as Brett Pelling  Virtually no one is, but the point is Morgan and Ford are waaaaaaay up on the all time lists for earnings and victories and thus are all timers. Go look at the stats tmbz1 tmbz1

Yeah but give Virgil his due, he was doing it the hard way in Ohio, before the big money.

Exactly....USTA needed a chick...also she relied heavily upon an asst. Cant think of his name, tall guy, wore alot of denim, knew much more. He was the glue. Not fully in charge of her own operation like many of those she competes with at the top level. Please dont tell me all outfits have assts., DUH - not what I am talking about with her.

Yers, Gen Z   exactly   You embellish my point. He has won like 7k races and a ton of earnings BEFORE the big money  You are preaching to the choir.  Thanks!!

I remember a run of year, ahem, decades where she was an "overnighter", grinding it out and blowing LaChance, nobody dared giver her a young stakes horse, And she wasn't that great at all . I certainly never feared her as a competitor in a serious overnight race, as I would a horse from Kopas or Aurigemma.

Finish your story...Linda was voted in because she checked a box. She shouldnt even be the first female in. Tha'ts aggravating enuf! Bea Farber should be there too and AHEAD of Linda. many men with similar resumes arent and wont be in because of politics. The way the USTA zombies have blackballed Tony Morgan thru the years. Not too mention the males who dwarf her resume and arent in. I do not accept, sorry   old bird

Keep in mind the HOF is all horse politics. I agree Pelling should have been in years ago.

So Whats New Here?
Nothing!
These same type post are being posted on every Hall Of Fame board, for every sport, everywhere.
Just replace Harness Racing HOF with Baseball, Basketball,
Ping Pong, or Cribbage.
All the same complaints.
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.
