2024 edition of Harness Hero Trading Cards available

The newly released set of HARNESS HEROES trading cards contains all the usual 35 North American harness racing champion horses and people from 2023. In addition, the set will feature six specifically Indiana-centric subjects. The Indiana Standardbred Association (ISA) directors selected the 2023 pari-mutuel driver of the year (Trace Tetrick), pari-mutuel trainer of the year (Tyler George), fair driver/trainer of the year (Doug Rideout), trotter of the year (Ponda Title), pacer of the year (Coach Stefanos) and the Indiana State Fairgrounds as their inclusions.

“Tony (Renz) initiated the conversation last fall” explained Ellen Taylor HHYF Executive Director. “Since HHYF is always looking for ways to collaborate on projects, we worked through the creative process, utilizing our expertise to make high quality cards at an economical cost for ISA. The final effort is a wonderful trifecta; HHYF now has a unique twist for this year’s set, ISA now has a cool giveaway for their events, and our avid collectors have the opportunity to learn more about Hoosier harness racing!”
