Breyer Harley Harlequin Draft Pony Tack | 1:9 Scale Model #1805, Black and White

At the racetrack, it's the slick Thoroughbreds in their colorful saddle cloths that first catch everyone's eye. However, it's the large and colorful lead pony that truly garners attention as he steps onto the track. Daisy's Chief Dane, better known as Harley, is the center of attention whenever he works due to his impressive size and striking black blanket Appaloosa coat.

As a track "pony," Harley must be calm, confident, and strong to safely lead the high-strung Thoroughbreds to the starting gate. Fortunately, these are all trademarks of the American Sugar bush harlequin draft horse breed, whose founders crossed Percherons with Appaloosas to create colorful workhorses with amiable dispositions.

Harley has the privilege of "ponying" horses in prestigious races like the Kentucky Derby, as well as famed racers like California Chrome and Flightline. Working at Kentucky's Churchill Downs and Keeneland racecourses, he has developed a devoted fan following of his own, quietly becoming a star in his own right as he works alongside Thoroughbred superstars.
