Lightly raced as a two-year-old, Jet Hill rocketed on the scene in 2023, winning two-thirds of his starts on his way to being named Ohio’s Three-Year-Old Trotting Colt of the Year.
Owned by Serenity Racing Stables and trained by Edward Miller, Jet Hill hit the board in 13 of 15 sophomore starts, winning 10 and earning $393,400.
The son of What The Hill won the James K. Hackett Memorial, three legs of the Ohio Sires Stakes, the Ohio Fair Stakes, and the Ohio Breeders Championship.
The highlight of the year was a world record performance in June at MGM Northfield Park where he won a leg of the Ohio Sires Stakes in 1:52.2 to become the fastest three-year-old trotting gelding on a half-mile track.
“We knew he was going to be a nice horse, but didn’t know how good,” said Ian Yoder of Serenity Racing Stable. “He is a very special horse that makes you smile.”
Jet Hill will be honoured at the Ohio Harness Horsemen’s Association Annual Awards Banquet on Jan. 13, 2024 at the Marriott Columbus OSU in Columbus, Ohio. Tickets to the banquet are $30 each and can be purchased by calling the association's office at 614-221-3650.
