How to Nominate a Horse for the Racing Hall of Fame

Horse racing has been a staple of the American sporting life for almost 100 years. The names of the winning horses echo throughout the sport as ultimate competitors. These great horses are ultimately what makes the sport so esteemed. The site that celebrates the racehorse's career is the racing hall of fame. Before enshrinement, a horse must be nominated to the hall of fame.

1. Understand that a horse is not eligible for nomination until 5 calendar years after the horse's last official racing year.
