Harrisburg, PA (Sportsbooks) - First it was Smarty Jones. Now the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is about to honor another state-bred racehorse. Hambletonian winner Windsong's Legacy will be honored on Tuesday. The day will be "Windsong's Legacy Day" in Pennsylvania. The three-year-old will be seeking trotting's Triple Crown when he goes in Saturday's Kentucky Futurity at The Red Mile. Last month, Windsong's Legacy won the Yonkers Trot after capturing the Hambletonian in August. A win in the Kentucky Futurity will give harness racing its first trotting Triple Crown winner since Super Bowl in 1972. Windsong's Legacy was bred in Pennsylvania by Dr. Paul Spears and foaled in the Quaker State. He was raised at Hanover Shoe Farms after his mother died following colic surgery. Earlier this year, the commonwealth honored Smarty Jones, the winner of this year's Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. Smarty Jones failed to claim the Triple Crown when he finished second in the Belmont Stakes. |
