Western Dreamer (April 25, 1994 – March 24, 2026) was an American Standardbred racehorse, foaled in Georgetown, Kentucky, who won the U.S. Pacing Triple Crown in 1997. Driven by Michel Lachance, his winning time of 1:51 1/5 in the Little Brown Jug was the then fastest ever recorded for the race.[1]
Western Dreamer is the only gelding of any breed to ever win a Pacing Triple Crown. In his later years, he was a resident of the Hall of Champions at the Kentucky Horse Park.[2] Western Dreamer died on March 24, 2026, at the age of 31.[3]
