Hall of Fame

Hall of Fame won his maiden race in his second career outing as a 3-year-old by a margin of 10 1/4 lengths in a 1 1/16-mile dirt race at Fair Grounds on Jan. 20, 2024. He followed that maiden win with a pair of unsuccessful Grade 2 efforts back at Fair Grounds in the Risen Star Stakes and the Louisiana Derby. Following the March 23 Louisiana Derby, Hall of Fame was out of sight for most of the rest of 2024 until he resurfaced with a win off the lengthy layoff in a one-mile allowance race at Churchill Downs on Dec. 1.

Hall of Fame began his 4-year-old campaign in promising fashion with an allowance optional claiming win going 1 1/16 miles at Fair Grounds on Jan. 5, 2025, when he went wire-to-wire to score by 6 1/2 lengths. Hall of Fame was then back at the Fair Grounds and back against stakes company for his next start, which came in the Grade 3 $250,000 Mineshaft Stakes going 1 1/16 miles in a field of eight on Feb. 15. This time around, Hall of Fame was ready for the stakes assignment. He stalked the pace and challenged in the stretch and was able to grind out a victory by a head.
