The oldest stakes is the Kentucky Futurity, which was first raced in 1893. The Hambletonian began in 1926, while the Yonkers Trot (originally called the Yonkers Futurity) was inaugurated in 1955. The nine Trotting Triple Crown winners since its inception in 1955 are profiled on this and the following pages. The Trotting Triple Crown’s trophy was designed by Lambert Brothers Jewelers, Inc., and features a trotter atop a silver and marble platform supported by three silver columns, each bearing a rectangular plaque, one each for the Yonkers Trot, Hambletonian, and Kentucky Futurity. The columns, in turn, rest on a large black marble base. The trophy’s permanent home is at Yonkers Raceway, where it is on display in the trophy case in the main dining room, the Empire Terrace. In the years when the trophy has been won, it was traditionally presented in a luncheon at the Ed Keys Hampshire House Hotel in New York City. 1955—Scott Frost (Hoot Mon-Nora) Owner: Saul A.
