Standardbred broodmares are eligible for nomination to harness racing’s highest accolade only if they comply with the following strict criteria:

Annually on March 1, a list of living broodmares that have produced two Dan Patch winners, or two millionaires, or one Dan Patch winner and one millionaire are assembled for the Living Horse Hall of Fame Committee to review. Committee members can also nominate a broodmare that does not meet those criteria. Each of the committee members votes for his or her top five broodmares, voting results are tabulated and the top two in votes are elected to the Living Horse Hall of Fame.
