Horse racing’s Hall of Fame names 2020 class. Here are the seven new members.

Trainer Mark Casse, racehorse Wise Dan and prominent Lexington Thoroughbred breeder Alice Headley Chandler headline a class of seven new members elected to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

The class of 2020, announced Wednesday, is tentatively scheduled for induction on Aug. 7 at Saratoga Springs, N.Y. A decision on the status of the induction ceremony amid the COVID-19 pandemic is forthcoming.

Joining Casse and Wise Dan — both chosen in the contemporary category — in the 2020 class are jockey Darrel McHargue and racehorse Tom Bowling, who were selected by the Historic Review Committee. Pillars of the Turf selections were Chandler, J. Keene Daingerfield Jr., and George D. Widener Jr.

Finalists for 2020 who were not elected were racehorses Blind Luck, Game On Dude, Havre de Grace, Kona Gold and Rags to Riches, trainers Christophe Clement, Doug O’Neill and David Whiteley, and jockey Corey Nakatani.

Chandler was founder of Mill Ridge Farm in Lexington and received the 2009 Eclipse Award of Merit. Mill Ridge raised top performers such as Point Given, Giacomo and Havre de Grace. Chandler has served as president of the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association and director of the Breeders’ Cup and the Keeneland Association.

She founded Mill Ridge after the death of her father, prominent horseman and Keeneland co-founder Hal Price Headley, in 1962 with four broodmares. She bred one, Attica, to multiple stakes winner Sir Gaylord.

“I was short on money because I had just built a new barn,” Chandler said upon winning her Eclipse Award. “I thought it would be a good match, but didn’t expect how good.”

The foal, named Sir Ivor, sold at Keeneland’s July 1966 sale for $42,000 to Arthur “Bull” Hancock, who purchased him on behalf of Raymond Guest. Sir Ivor went on to win the 1968 Epsom Derby for Guest and later was named England’s Horse of the Year.

Chandler saw Sir Ivor as one of her most meaningful achievements “because he’s done so much for getting the Europeans over here for Keeneland.”

Casse, who has found success training in both Canada and the United States, had won 2,865 races with purse earnings of nearly $175 million through Tuesday. The Indianapolis native has trained Eclipse Award winners Classic Empire, Shamrock Rose, Tepin and World Approval. Last year, he won two of the three Triple Crown races with War of Will (Preakness) and Sir Winston (Belmont). He has trained five Breeders’ Cup winners and received the Sovereign Award winner as Canada’s most outstanding trainer 11 times.

Wise Dan was Horse of the Year in 2012 and 2013 and won a total of six Eclipse Awards during a five-year career that ended with 23 wins in 31 starts and generated earnings of $7,552,920. Wise Dan was bred and owned by Morton Fink and trained by Charles LoPresti.

McHargue won 2,553 races between 1972 and 1988 and captured the Eclipse Award as Outstanding Jockey in 1978. He finished second in the 1977 Kentucky Derby with Run Dusty Run and third in 1980 with Jaklin Klugman.

Tom Bowling won 14 of his 17 career starts in the 1870s, including the Travers Stakes.

Daingerfield, a Lexington native, won the Eclipse Award of Merit in 1985 for his service as a trainer and a steward. He was widely respected as one of the nation’s leading race officials.

Widener contributed to racing as an owner and breeder throughout the early 1900s. He owned Old Kenney Farm in Lexington. Among his best horses were Belmont and Travers winner Jaipur and Hall of Famer Eight Thirty.
