{{Short description|Standardbred racehorse}}

'''Green Speed''' (December 18, 1974 - June 27, 1983) was a [Standardbred](/source/Standardbred) [trotter](/source/Horse_gait) owned by Mrs. Beverly Loyds and who was trained by [Billy Haughton](/source/Billy_Haughton). Although not eligible for the [Kentucky Futurity](/source/Kentucky_Futurity), the colt's racing success included wins in the other two legs of the 1977 [U.S. Trotting Triple Crown](/source/Triple_Crown_of_Harness_Racing_for_Trotters), the [Hambletonian Stakes](/source/Hambletonian_Stakes) and the [Yonkers Trot](/source/Yonkers_Trot). In that three-year-old campaign Green Speed finished the season holding thirteen [world record](/source/world_record)s including a record time of 1:55 3/5 which made him the then fastest three-year-old trotter in history. As a result, Green Speed was voted the 1977 [American Harness Horse of the Year](/source/American_Harness_Horse_of_the_Year).<ref>[https://www.harnessmuseum.com/content/green-speed Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame bio for Green Speed] Retrieved August 23, 2015</ref>
