23 in a row. A new lifetime mark of 1:49.1. And driver Tim Tetrick celebrates his 6,000 career win. A very impressive performance.

That's bookin' it for a trotter... Nice to see him get yet another win...

Too bad he's not getting the attention he deserves.

Do all three of you play this kind of racing?

I wouldn't know where to begin.

Elmo is a pacer not trotter. I have been involved in harness racing for 20 years. Our sport definitely has major issues, one of which is a lack of publicity to inform people when we have a superstar.

I'm going to show my stupidity here and ask what the difference is.

I know, I can google it but I'd rather hear it from someone who follows the sport and yeah why is there next to no press about a horse like this?

Looks like it has to do with a difference in their gate, and Pacers wear hobbles and Trotters do not.

Great explanation, hope it helps. Pacers are faster than Trotters as they tend to glide over the track and the pounding on the track doesn't seem to be as severe as watching a thoroughbred.

I don't follow harness racing anywhere near like I used to, but Rainbow Blue was the cat's meow for me. I loved her.
