my little dragon
Bred by White Birch Farm of Allentown, New Jersey, three-time Breeders Crown winner and world champion pacing mare My Little Dragon was foaled on May 28, 2003.
A perfect six-for-six season, including a Breeders Crown win, led My Little Dragon to be named the best in her division as a two-year-old pacing filly in 2005. In 2006, despite another Breeders Crown victory and earnings of $898,627, she lost year-end honors to Darlin’s Delight.

My Little Dragon rebounded in 2008 to score 10 wins in 22 starts and $817,567 in earnings, with victories in the Breeders Crown and Classic Distaff final. She was voted Dan Patch and O’Brien Older Pacing Mare in 2008.
My Little Dragon retired from her Hall of Fame-worthy racing career in 2009.
