Harness racing has long been central to the communal identity of Fayette County, Ohio. Washington Court House, its county seat, had a Sulky Restaurant and a Standardbred computer store. The Record-Herald, the city’s newspaper, displayed for years the image of a horse, sulky, and driver on its masthead. Washington Court House has a Trotters Pointe subdivision which, according to its website, “takes its name from, and evokes the deep roots and the proud, rich tradition of Standardbred horses throughout Fayette County.” The stories in this book profile some of Fayette County’s horsemen and horses whose achievements took place before 1970.
