How does a person or horse become an Immortal?
A Museum member can nominate a person or a trotter or pacer to be an Immortal. Nominations must be accompanied by biographical information outlining the nominee’s contributions to the Standardbred sport and must be received by the Museum Director no later than March 1st of any given year. These nominations are reviewed by an Immortals Committee; recommendations are made to the Hall of Fame’s full board of trustees and the board elects Immortals at its annual meeting on Hall of Fame Day, the first Sunday in July.
