Totally agree. He's a specimen. The fact that PMac had him wrapped up in 1:48.3 on Saturday nite at the Big M was incredible to watch especially when contrasted with the fact that Mister Big, one of the best older pacers in the country, was all out to win the Haughton by a head in 1:49.

From what I've seen -- very serious horse. Incredible. He goes 27 quarters and does it under wraps, easy. I would like to very much see him win it.

One thing about the Meadowlands Pace though -- the Meadowlands has often been the boulevard of broken dreams, LOL. Many big stakes races, a horse, 2, maybe 3 take a run at you, can sit and go and potentially beat you. Maybe 2 or 3 are considered legit contenders. The Meadowlands Pace is a bit different -- there are usually 4, 5, sometimes more horses who can and will run at you. There are that many or more who can legitimately win.

Anyway -- I want to see him win it. The sport needs another truly great horse to come along . . . haven't had one since Artsplace.
