Queen Of The Pride, the daughter of McArdle–Lionness Hanover by Western Ideal raced in five states — Ohio, Indiana, New York, Kentucky and Delaware — as well as Canada in 2019. She was the winner of eight of 19 starts. Owned by Frank Chick and trained by Kevin Lare, Queen Of The Pride earned $385,597 last year.
Queen Of The Pride’s biggest win of the year was the Ohio Sires Stakes final at Northfield in September winning in 1:51.3.
Queen Of The Pride was bred by Bradley Wallace of Findlay, Ohio.
Tony Hall drove Queen Of The Pride to six of her eight wins in 2019 and says she always had a winning attitude.
“She is a very athletic filly with a lot of natural desire that made her a force to be reckoned with. She wanted to win as badly as I did.”
Queen Of The Pride will be honored at the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association and United States Trotting Association’s District 1 annual awards banquet Jan. 18 at the University Area Marriott in Columbus, Ohio. Tickets to the banquet are $30 each and can be purchased by calling the OHHA office at 614.221.3650. Reservation forms are also available on the OHHA website at www.ohha.com.
