The Harness Racing Museum And Hall Of Fame has announced that the 2006 inductees to the Harness Racing Living Horse Hall Of Fame are Matts Scooter and Moni Maker.
Votes were cast by museum members and these two superstars were chosen among six nominees that also included Continentalvictory, Malabar Man and Miss Easy. The pair will be inducted on Hall Of Fame Day, Sunday, July 2, in Goshen, NY.
Matt's Scooter was 1988 Pacer of the Year and 1989 Horse of the Year. He retired as the world's fastest Standardbred by virtue of his astounding time-trial of 1:48.2 at Lexington's Red Mile. In 1988, Matt's Scooter was recognized as the leading money-winning harness horse with earnings of $1,783,558.
Moni Maker was Horse of the Year in 1998 and 1999 and Trotter of the Year in 1998, 1999, and 2000. She was awarded Trotting Mare of the Year four times, 1997-2000, and was the richest Standardbred winning $5,589,256.
