The winning streak

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.

Interesting... thanks for the link!

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.

Hard not to root for the connections of this horse. Sure that last race was a soft spot, but they brought him home for the fans, and donated the entire purse to charity. Hope he can win again at Woodbine.
