Green Speed
Green Speed (December 18, 1974 - June 27, 1983) was a
U.S. Trotting Triple Crown, the Hambletonian Stakes and the Yonkers Trot. In that three-year-old campaign Green Speed finished the season holding thirteen world records including a record time of 1:55 3/5 which made him the then fastest three-year-old trotter in history. As a result, Green Speed was voted the 1977 American Harness Horse of the Year.[1]
In 2014 Green Speed was inducted into the United States Harness Racing Hall of Fame.[2]
