Grant E. "Gene" Riegle (June 3, 1928 – October 17, 2011) was an American harness racing driver and trainer. He was inducted into the Harness Racing Hall of Fame in 1992.[1]

Riegle started his harness racing career in 1950.[2] His father, Roy Riegle, was also a driver and trainer. Roy Riegle and his wife were killed in a 1957 auto accident.[3]

At the 1972 Little Brown Jug, Riegle drove Jay Time who was the odds on favorite before the race.[4] Jay Time, who finished in a dead heat with Strike Out one month earlier in the Adios Pace,[5] was scratched after the first heat due to a high temperature.[6]

During the 1981 Woodrow Wilson Pace held at Meadowlands Raceway, Riegle was thrown from his sulky while driving Andre Hanover in the process of trying to avoid a fallen horse. He suffered minor abrasions.[7] 1992 Harness racing horse of the year, Artsplace, was trained by Riegle.[8]

In 1990, Riegle along with Bruce Nickells, were awarded the Glen Garnsey Trophy as United States Trainer of the Year.[9]

Riegle trained 1993 Little Brown Jug winner, Life Sign.[10]

Riegle died at his Greenville, Ohio home on October 17, 2011.[11]
