The year was 2018, and the scene was the Hambletonian one of harness racings biggest events. A race for three-year-old trotters, Standardbred mare Atlanta became the first filly in 22 years (and only the 14th in history) to win and clinch the $1 million purse! In honor of this achievement, she received the Dan Patch Award for Trotter of the Year in 2018.
Atlanta wasnt done making history yet. At 2021s Allerage Farms Open Mare Trot at the Red Mile, Atlantas incredible 1:49 win with driver Yannick Gingras earned her another title: historys co-fastest female trotter!
