Is Queen Bea Farber in the Hall of Fame? What about Grandma Burright?

During the late 1940s, harness racing fans began to call Burright "Grandma Burright," a moniker that was perhaps first used when she raced at Roosevelt Raceway in August 1946.[10] Burright went on to have a successful career at pari-mutuel race tracks and the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame elected her as an "Immortal" in 1994.

The queen is in the halls of fame in Illinois, Michigan and Florida.  There is also a short video about her.

Bea like Tony Morgan didn’t kiss enough ass to be in the HOF.  Both well deserving of HOF

I'll put my money on one of the toughest woman in Harness Racing. ANNE WHEELER with 816 career wins ..she's in her 80's and still has a few she trains on her farm. Anyone in NY Racing knows of her and Robert Keller her partner, a renowned veterinarian.
