VIP Stable is an American harness racing partnership group founded in 1999 by Ed O'Connor.
Ed O'Connor, a lifelong harness racing fan organized the initial horse ownership group in 1999 with a group of 4 investors by purchasing an untested horse named Aberdasher, who was developed into a stakes horse with 17 wins by trainer Greg Trotto.
Unlike thoroughbred racing where public syndicates are widespread, Harness Racing has a limited number of public partnerships (i.e. those open to the general public as opposed to private groups of often friends or family members). VIP Stable is one of the few harness racing partnerships to gain national prominence in the sport. It draws its members from all parts of the United States.
2006-2007 Growth VIP Stable has grown rapidly in terms of partners, horses, and influence in harness racing. During 2006 and 2007, VIP Stable has expanded to have divisions of the stable racing regularly in New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Illinois.

Famous quotes containing the word stable:
“In verity ... we are the poor. This humanity we would claim for ourselves is the legacy, not only of the Enlightenment, but of the thousands and thousands of European peasants and poor townspeople who came here bringing their humanity and their sufferings with them. It is the absence of a stable upper class that is responsible for much of the vulgarity of the American scene. Should we blush before the visitor for this deficiency?”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
