It is one part of the Breeders Crown annual series of twelve races for both Standardbred trotters and pacers. First run in 1985, it is contested over a distance of one mile. Race organizers have awarded the event to various racetracks across North America.[1] The 2017 race will be held at Hoosier Park in Anderson, Indiana, United States.[2]

Historical race events

[edit]

On October 5, 1984 at The Red Mile in Lexington, Kentucky, Workaholic became the first ever Breeders Crown champion when he won the run-off for the 2YO Colt & Gelding Trot. Owned by an American racing partnership headed by Paul Heineken & Paul Ewell of Ocean City, Maryland, Workaholic was driven and trained by Swedes Berndt Lindstedt and Jan Johnson.[3]

In 2010, Pocono Downs became the first venue to host all 12 events on a single night.[4]
