The Messenger Stakes is an American harness racing event for 3-year-old
pacing horses. It was organized in 1956 at Roosevelt Raceway in
Westbury, New York (on suburban Long Island) to join with the Cane Pace
and the Little Brown Jug to create the Triple Crown of Harness Racing
for Pacers. The race is named in honor of Messenger (1780–1808), a horse
foaled in England and later brought to the United States. As a sire,
virtually all harness horses in the U.S. can be traced back to
Messenger.
Horses in the race Legacy N Diamonds, Santanna Blue Chip, Brother Ray,
Dali, Shadow Play, Somebeachsomewhere.
