Goldsmith Maid (1857 – September 23, 1885) was a prominent Standardbred racemare in the 1870s that was called the "Queen of the Trotters" and had a harness racing career that spanned 13 years. Her last race was won at the age of 20 against a much younger horse named Rarus.[1] She was inducted into the Harness Racing Hall of Fame in 1953.
