1996 Hambletonian - Continentalvictory

The filly sets the Hambletonian standard as she muscled her way into the record book. Continentalvictory flicked her luxuriant black tail into the air and for the second time on Saturday, August 3, 1996, she crossed the finish line first to win the 71st Hambletonian. Next stop was victory lane where she would become the 13th filly to win the world’s most prestigious race for three-year-old trotters. Since the introduction of the companion filly stakes, the Hambletonian Oaks, in 1971, few have opted to challenge the colts. Continentalvictory did not only take on the colts, she obliterated the record book
