An Indiana man whose grandfather trained a now-forgotten harness-racing champion of the 1930s and 1940s is appealing to anyone in Butler County who may have pictures or other memorabilia.

Mike Worsham of Bourbon, Ind., is looking for information on a racehorse named Little Pat who, according to Worsham, set a world record as a 2-year-old harness racer in 1935.

Little Pat established world records as a 2-, 3- and 4-year-old and in the aged-pacer category. He won 73 of 104 races and $43,563 in lifetime earnings.

“My grandfather (A.J. Worsham) bred, raised and trained that horse. In harness racing, the horse set a world record as a 2-year-old,” Worsham said. “He set the fastest time as a 2-year-old gelding at 2:063/4.”

Little Pat was sold to a Butler resident named Homer Biery in 1936. Biery raced the horse for seven more years until Little Pat was retired in 1943, the year Biery died.

He added anyone with information can call him at 574-551-5352.
