2 More Legends Join the Horse Racing Hall of Fame

Horse racing is one of the most interesting sports in the world. Long traditions, legendary bloodlines and fierce competition with an air of elegance and intrigue set it a cut above other sports. Horse racing has long been the cause of many a man’s fortune or downfall; the betting is just a part of the experience. You can’t go to a track and not at least play a $2 ticket. Well, the Horse Racing Hall of Fame has recently recognized some truly inspiring teams in the sport.

Drivers in chariot races often go without credit. People credit the horses and the trainers, but the person who brings out the very best in the horses he is driving is the true genius behind the greatness. This time, credit was given where credit was due. Six-time Driver of the Year Dave Palone and breeder Hal Jones have been inducted into the Harness Racing Hall of Fame in Goshen, N.Y.

In recognition for all the great things these two have done for the competitive side of the equestrian world, the New York based organization has presented both these men with a place in the record books. No one will forget these champions anytime soon. Dave Palone is simply magic on horseback, just as he is behind the wheel of a chariot or racing wagon. He began the year having won at least 532 races in 18 consecutive seasons. Breeder Hal Jones has managed to produce some of the strongest, fastest and most resilient horses around. His efforts have truly set him a cut above the rest.

Jones pioneered the practice of artificial insemination at standardbred farms. Certainly this was pushing the envelope when he first started, but the practice is commonplace now. Being able to mix and match traits has produced some of the greatest horses around.
