So, random question

[GPK]

and pacers are the faster of the two gaits....and you see trotters "go off stride" or "break" more frequently, especially as 2YO's.

this is very common in races where there is a 2-5 shot...they seem to go off stride very frequently for some reason. I could give you a long list of names for drivers that it seems to happen with more frequently than others....but I will refrain

It's just a coincidence that certain drivers like to go off stride with 2-5 shots. LOL.

The sad thing is Richi, I could go through a list of tracks and name the driver most likely to break a horse

I haven't bet on a harness race in 20 years. I used to enjoy it as a teen-ager. Back when I was in high-school, they had harness racing at Hollywood Park. They raced at night. I used to go quite a bit.

I used to love to bet them, still do at times when the mood strikes me. I started out betting harness racing because at the time I couldn't read a T-Bred past performance if my life depended on it...and some will tell you I still can't read one

First Pacers I ever saw were at Los Al where they raced years ago and they split time with the quarters. It was also the first time I had ever seen the race program with pps. Little did I know that this was the wave of the future. It still amazes me when I think back when I first started going to the races and bet them with only a program that showed the connection and there breeding along with there won and loss percentages.
