The first in the 2021 series of Harness Horse Youth Foundation Activity Boxes is ready for distribution. These boxes, similar to other subscription-type boxes, ...provide educational and fun activities of all kinds for young people to learn about various aspects of harness racing in non-traditional ways. The content is loosely based on regular school subjects like math, science, language arts, history and art explains Executive Director Ellen Taylor. Our team is exceptionally creative when it comes to engaging the younger audience. In each box, we have included at least one ‘make it yourself’ project along with a variety of games and puzzles. Our target age group for our hands-on programs is 12 and up so that is where we have focused our energy in box development. Each box has a theme with specifically designed elements related to an aspect of the industry - Standardbred Essentials, Farm Life, At The Racetrack, and Harness Racing Careers Exploration. We encourage the purchase of the entire series both because the information among boxes is interrelated and because there is a bit of a savings too. We’re off to the winners circle - Standardbred Essentials (Box 1) is available now. The second box will be available in May, the third in July, and the fourth in September. The fifth box Oh, what a wonderful world - Fun With Standardbreds, is especially designed for early-reading horse enthusiasts and consists of very simple activities for those under the age of 11. It is also now available. For more information about how to order the activity boxes, click here https://hhyf.org/activity-boxes/. Harness Horse Youth Foundation

Crazy Wow relocated to Diamond Creek Farm Kentucky Georgetown, KY Multiple stakes-winning Crazy Wow2, 1:54; 3, 1:51.1 ($2,532,143)a World Champion son of Cr...azed and his sire’s all-time leading earner, is relocating from Leatherstocking Equine in New York to Diamond Creek Farm Kentucky for the upcoming breeding season, it was announced Friday (Jan. 8) by Crawford Farms. He will stand the 2021 season for $3,000. Al and I are very excited to have Crazy Wow standing at Diamond Creek in Kentucky, especially with the upcoming KYSS program and new tracks opening, said Michelle Crawford. We feel that with the new bonus program in place it will attract breeders and horsemen looking to participate in this opportunity. Crazy Wow has thrown correct, long-legged, beautiful individuals and we feel with his strong pedigree and conformation that he will make his presence known in God’s Country. Working with Adam Bowden and the Diamond Creek staff is always a pleasure, and we are looking forward to the beginning of a great partnership with their cutting-edge stallion facility and team. A tough and tenacious performer from ages two through six, Crazy Wow was a World Champion at two. The precocious juvenile captured two legs and the Final of the New York Sire Stakes, as well as the Madison County en route to a 5-for-11 record in his freshman season on the track. Crazy Wow enjoyed his best season at three, winning 9 of 17 starts and amassing earnings of $1,027,612. He won the Colonial, Erskine, Empire Breeders Classic (in track-record time of 1:51.1), the Matron, a division of the Bluegrass, and three legs of the New York Sire S. at Monticello, Vernon, and Yonkers. He added to his already impressive accomplishments at five, taking the Harry Harvey Inv., the Cleveland Trotting Classic (world record of 1:52.3), the Charlie Hill (track record of 1:52f), and the Maxie Lee Inv. over JL Cruze at Chester. At six, he was the Maple Leaf T. winner and was multiple stakes-placed in his final season on the track. We are looking forward to this collaboration with Crawford Farms, said Diamond Creek’s Adam Bowden. We have come close in the past to working with Al and Michelle, and now we are excited to cement this partnership with the addition of Crazy Wow to the Kentucky Farm. I am Crazy Wow excited. All told, Crazy Wow banked $2,532,143 in a spectacular career on the track, competing against some of the toughest trotters in recent years and he retired with a record of 67-22-12-7. Produced from the stakes-winning mare No Pan No Gain (by Mr Vic, a son of the influential Valley Victory), Crazy Wow boasts an out-cross pedigree and matches with mares from a wide variety of sire lines. He will be represented by his first yearlings this year. All breeding and booking inquiries should be directed to Diamond Creek Farm at (717) 638-7100 or via email to [email protected].

The breeding shed opens in 1 month! Make sure you check up on breeding memos, as not all the stallions are the same.

Perfect Sting is a sentimental horse to me because his mother and father are my favorite horses. He’s probably got a bit of Shebestingin’sspeed and a bit of Mi...ki’s endurance. I think he acts like Miki; he’s got that same mentality. He seems to be able to carry his speed and that’s a huge asset. Perfect Sting is the only undefeated freshman male pacer to win the Breeders Crown and you can read all about his remarkable season in the January issue of Hoof Beats. #ReadHB #AHoofAbove #HarnessRacing
