Grandma BurrightNeva Grandma Burright was born on a race track in 1883, and her 57 year career as a harness racing driver spanned the county fair circuit to the early years of pari mutuel harness racing after World War II. During the 1940s and 1950s, major newspapers from Boston to Honolulu reported on Grandma Burrights exploits as a harness racing driver.

Neva ÒGrandmaÓ Burright was born on a race track in 1883, and her 57-year career as a harness racing driver spanned the county fair circuit to the early years of pari-mutuel harness racing after World War II.

During the 1940s and 1950s, major newspapers from Boston to Honolulu reported on Grandma BurrightÕs exploits as a harness racing driver. In 1943, she became the first woman to win a Grand Circuit race. In doing so, she defeated the legendary Sep Palin, Òthe aristocrat of drivers,Ó who had the financial backing of automobile heiress Frances Dodge Johnson. During that Grand Circuit race in Delaware, Ohio, Grandma Burright and Luckyette, her bay gelding, also shocked the harness racing world by setting a record for women drivers over a half-mile track with a time of 2:04 _.

In addition to Grandma BurrightÕs victories on race tracks, general audience magazines such as Coronet, Esquire, Hit!, Life, and Look magazines featured her in articles. She also appeared before millions on national television in 1954 and stumped the panelists on WhatÕs My Line?

In Grandma Burright: The Queen of Harness Racing, Kevin Groenhagen explores Grandma BurrightÕs legacy as a wife, mother, grandmother, and, of course, as a harness racing driver. He examines how a diminutive woman of modest means overcame numerous tragedies (the death of a husband, two grandsons, and two sons, all within 12 years) to become known as ÒThe Queen of Harness Racing.Ó

Great style; unique; fits well.
Size: Medium, Color: Gray
Love the style and the fit. I get a lot of complements wearing this. With only three buttons, wearing this outdoors in the cold might not be practical. Other than that, I like it. I went back and ordered a second coat but in a different color.
