  Hambletonian
The Hambletonian is a United States harness racing event held annually for three-year-old trotting standardbreds.
The race is named for the famous trotting horse, Hambletonian 10[?] (1849-1876), from whose four sons, the lineage of virtually all American standardbred race horses can be traced.
The Hambletonian is the first, and most prestigious event in the United States Trotting Triple Crown races.
