1985 Niatross & Nihilator

The Breeders Crown 3 year old colt pace at Garden State Park and a clip of 8 year old Niatross running around in his paddock

Niatross is the GOAT for sure!!!

I was fortunate enough to see Niatross race at Pompano. What a race. He was on top all the way around. The Pack stayed with him until about the half. Then the driver stepped on the accelerator and this horse flew. Won by at least 1/8 of a mile. Most exciting race I ever saw. And I groomed standardbreds for nearly 15 years. Did you know he had a woman groom. I got pictures.

Nialator was a beast just like his daddy. I was a the Meadowlands for his first race in his life, I would love to see that, a wild, I don't know how wide move a the top of the street check, what I remember was that it was so wide, a great Sprint then to the wire, great memories, hopefully more forth coming 👍

Nihilator was a wonderful horse but his sire Niatross was something so special , I remember 1979 his 2 yr old campaign , then 1980 , and the summer mostly , I saw every one of his races at the meadowlands that summer, he was without a doubt the most special Harness horse who ever lived

AI ways B Miki went 1:47 and 1:46 And these were actual races not time trials. So could say maybe 1:45:1

[@DeViLzzz2006]

Look I love horse racing and harness racing is something I always wanted to get into but lately overall the horse racing industry is getting bad press with horses breaking down like crazy at a certain American track (thoroughbreds) and really everyone knows horses are not mature at 2 and 3 years old. Can we please see the end of racing horses at 2 and 3?

[@billviola7884]

Funny how Nihilator avoided OTRA over and over again.
