Harold Haining celebrated the 500th training win of his career as HF Faithatfulspeed broke his maiden in the opening race on July 4 at Century Downs Racetrack and Casino. Even more fitting, the three-year-old gelding is owned by Colleen and Mark Haining and bred by Colleen Haining. A special family moment to mark an incredible achievement.

Congratulations to Harold and the entire Haining family on a memorable milestone! 🎉🐴
