The Muscle Hill horse Southwind Frank was one of the best young trotters in North American harness racing of his day.
He won 17 of his 26 lifetime starts including 10 consecutive races at two highlighted by the Breeders Crown, was 2YO Trotting Colt of the Year in both America and Canada, set a world record of 1:52.2 at three and earned a hefty $1,950,887.
Southwind Frank, who was first at the stud in America and is now based in Italy, has sired the winners of $US 7.7million from only four crops of racing age including last year’s USA 3YO Filly Trotter of the Year Bond and the Hambletonian heat winner Delayed Hanover.

“Southwind Frank set the World Record of 1:52.2 at The Red Mile winning the International Stallion Stakes,” said Joe Thomson, Winbak Farm Owner. “He was a very impressive 2-year-old who had 10 consecutive wins.”
At 3, he won the Earl Beal Jr Memorial Final, New Jersey Sire Stakes division and Final, Reynolds Memorial, Stanley Dancer Memorial and The Colonial Final at Pocono Downs. He was second in the Breeders Crown Final, Canadian Trotting Classic elimination, Earl Beal Jr Memorial elimination, Kentucky Futurity Final, and Hambletonian Stakes elimination and Final. He was in the top 3 for 24 of his 26 lifetime starts.
“Southwind Frank is the perfect trotter for Delaware,” said Thomson. “He is a royally-bred champion who already has proven success as a sire of top performers.”
Southwind Frank is the sire of 2022 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes Final Winner, Bond, 2, 1:52.3 -’22 ($587,264), and 2022 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes leg Winner, Eternal Lee, 3, 1:51 -’22 ($352,638). He has sired 13 Winners of $100,000+.
