Trotters Continentalvictory, Grades Singing, Malabar Man and Muscles Yankee and pacer Cam’s Card Shark have been placed on this year’s ballot for induction into the Living Horse Hall of Fame in Goshen, N.Y. All members in good standing of the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame are eligible to vote for the two horses they feel exemplify greatness.

Continentalvictory was the 1995 Two-Year-Old Filly Trotter of the Year and went on the following year to win the Hambletonian on her way to Horse of the Year honors.

Malabar Man was a two-time Breeders Crown champion and the winner of the 1997 Hambletonian, a year in which he was also honored as Harness Horse of the Year.
