Historical race events
On October 5, 1984 at The Red Mile in Lexington, Kentucky, Workaholic became the first ever Breeders Crown champion when he won the run-off for the 2YO Colt & Gelding Trot. Owned by an American racing partnership headed by Paul Heineken & Paul Ewell of Ocean City, Maryland, Workaholic was driven and trained by Swedes Berndt Lindstedt and Jan Johnson.

In 2010, Pocono Downs became the first venue to host all 12 events on a single night.
