  Messenger Stakes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The race is named in honor of Messenger (1780-1808), a horse foaled in England and later brought to the United States.
One of the preeminent events for harness racing horses in North America, the race was held annually at Roosevelt Raceway until it closed down in 1988.
After that, the Messenger Stakes was staged at different racetracks until 1995 when it moved to The Meadows, a racetrack in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area.

 The History of Horse Racing
Horse racing began to become a professional sport during the reign (1702-14) of Queen Anne, when match racing gave way to races involving several horses on which the spectators wagered.
The conditions under which the horse will be racing include the quality of the competition in the race, the distance of the race, the type of racing surface (dirt or grass), and the current state of that surface (fast, sloppy, and so on).
Messenger was bred to both pure Thoroughbred and mixed breed mares, and his descendants were rebred until these matings produced a new breed with endurance, temperament, and anatomy uniquely suited to racing under harness.
