About Proximity

Proximity (1942-1966) was a Standardbred U.S. Harness Racing Hall of Fame inductee and Champion trotting racemare. She was trained and driven by future Canadian and U.S. Hall of Fame inductee Clint Hodgins. Owned by Ralph & Gordon Verhurst, in 1950 the then eight-year-old mare was voted the American Harness Horse of the Year. At the time of her 1975 induction into the Hall of Fame, the selection committee called her "one of the greatest free-for-allers in trotting history." Proximity retired with career earnings of $252,929 which made her the leading money-winning Standardbred in history, regardless of sex or gait.
