Alagna Racing Alagna Racing Stable Standardbred Training
https://twitter.com/alagnaracing Alagna is the son of Chicago-based trainer Donna Lee Ozment.

Since starting his own public stable in the fall of 2009, Tony Alagna has established himself as one of harness racing’s top trainers. Alagna has seen his stable’s earnings increase regularly and enjoyed a career-best year in 2013, with 151 wins and $5.44 million in purses. His stable ranked No. 3 in North America in earnings last year and has amassed more than $15 million since opening its doors.

Alagna trained Captaintreacherous to Pacer of the Year awards in 2012 and 2013. “The Captain” became the first pacer to win that honor in consecutive years since Jenna’s Beach Boy in 1995-96 and joined Niatross as the only horses to accomplish the feat at ages 2 and 3 since the award was first given in 1970. Pacer Bret Hanover was honored at ages 2, 3 and 4 with the Horse of the Year Award from 1964-66. Other top horses for Alagna have been My MVP, who won the 2012 Kentucky Futurity, as well as stakes-winners Authorize, Fresh Idea, Handover Belle, Ideal Magic, Major Bombay, Mel Mara, Nikki Beach, and Rockaround Sue. He was riding a pony at age 3 and studying bloodlines before he was a teenager. Soon after graduating from high school, Alagna was assisting his mom with her stable. He later worked for trainer Brian Pinske before finishing his college degree in 1997. After college, he worked as the private trainer for Pat and Ken Walker’s Fox Valley Standardbreds in Illinois for three years and then spent six years as the top assistant to trainer Erv Miller. While with the Miller Stable, he helped train standouts such as Lis Mara, Shark Gesture, Classic Photo, and Muscle Mass. He started his own stable in 2009 at the age of 37.

“I definitely get my work ethic from my mom,” Alagna said. “She instilled in me that if you don’t work hard, you’re not going to be successful. Mom always told me that if you don’t take care of the horse, the horse won’t take care of you.”

Donna Lee, 72, passed away Feb. 19, 2025, at the Ephraim McDowell hospital in Danville, Ky., after a courageous battle with health issues over the past few years. To a woman as successful as she, in what through her lifetime was largely a man’s business, fighting adversity was something with which Donna Lee was well acquainted.

Born Sept. 5, 1952, in Fairfield, Ill., she was a highly regarded horsewoman who had a knack for horses that required a little “TLC” to excel, competing on a high level during a time when Illinois racing was at its best.

Early on, she raced a small stable between Quad City Downs and Fairmount Park where she won an all-women’s driving club race and captured the UTR training title at Quad City in 1990.

With the closure of Quad City in 1993, she, along with her son Peter who did the shoeing and some driving before enlisting in the U.S. Army, moved operations to the Chicagoland tracks where she sent out state champions like Chicago Jazz and Havana.

As the future of racing in Chicago became more uncertain, she left her home state to join forces with her son Tony Alagna, upon whom her love of horses and harness racing had a tremendous impact. She would play a vital role in one of the top stables competing on the Grand Circuit.

Perhaps her greatest contribution was affording Tony the opportunity to remain state-side with one division of the stable while confidently sending many of his best horses to Canada for Grand Circuit stakes.

Under her hand, the Canadian division of the Alagna barn would win three Breeders Crowns (Ramona Hill, Reflect With Me and American History), back-to-back Canadian Trotting Classics with Ahundreddollarbill and Slay, the Metro with Exploit and a Peaceful Way with Caprice Hill.

Along with those accomplishments, she particularly enjoyed having a role in the development of Hambletonian winner Ramona Hill and a few of her personal favorites including world record holder Dr J Hanover and million-dollar winner Caprice Hill.

Dogs were always a part of the family and in later years the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Tess and Freckles were her constant companions. She also encouraged Tony’s love of the Morgan Show Horse and together they sent out a world champion named Akira Hamilton in 2023.

Time off for her meant time on horseback, her great affection for trail riding and the endurance ride serving as her favored form of relaxation. Land Between The Lakes near Paducah, Ky., was a favorite spot to join friends for camping and a ride to celebrate her life at that location is in the planning stages for later this Spring.

She leaves behind loving sons Tony and Peter; and grandson, Cameron.

Donna, Tony and Peter have been united in the racing operation these past few seasons since Peter’s retirement from the Sheriff’s Office in Chicago. Donna and Peter joined in operating the family training center in Harrodsburg, Ky., while Tony remained at the New Jersey farm these past few winters.

Services for Donna Lee will be this Thursday (Feb. 27) between the hours of 1-4 p.m. at Ransdell Funeral Chapel located in Harrodsburg.

Memorial contribution may be made to the Harness Horse Youth Foundation.

My Mother, My Superhero
You are my superhero
even when I was just a child,
you always protect me,
you always wipe my tears away
whenever I cry,
and whisper:
"It's okay darling, I'm here,
no one's gonna hurt you now."

You'd fly me to skies
if everybody chose to pull me down,
you'd lend me peace of mind
when I am in troubles
you guide me in times
I was reading between the lines;
you let me see the world
and taught me how to walk
every distance I should travel,
the roads may seem so difficult,
I'm not afraid anymore
for you gave me the courage.

You to me are everything
Thank you for
the laugh,
the joy,
the guidance,
the love
and for everything Mother.

Tony
