TORPID b. H, STANDARDBRED, 1954
| Color: b
p,2,1:58m $187,358
Bred by and last owned by Sherwood Farms, Irvington, New Jersey. Torpid was a super star with twelve Classic Race wins including the Cane Pace and Little Brown Jug in 1957. He was Pacer of the Year at two years of age when he set a new world record for his age.
As a three-year-old Torpid was even better, winning nineteen of twenty two starts, recording nine two minute miles, the most ever in a season by any horse and being named Harness Horse of the Year.
The following year he retired to Hanover Shoe Farms to stand at stud, but proved a disaster. His only two progeny of merit were two year old star Truluck and Little Brown Jug winner Vicar Hanover. Neither of them had much success at stud.
