RIP Matt's Scooter 6-30-14

A fresh reminder that before he became famous calling races on the other side of the Hudson River, Tom Durkin was calling the pacers and trotters over at East Rutherford, New Jersey.

I was there and played Matts scooter. As soon as I saw the 3rd quarter go in 29, I knew it was over!

[@plavine99]

I was also there and was sweating. If you remember , the week before on an ESPN live race broadcast- Matt’s was on the lead at 3/4 and camtastic caught him.

Now that is a nice group of 3 year olds!!!

Lol I was a fool! In 1977 I was a track handicapped at Brandywine raceway. Direct Scooter had qualified and his first race I picked him in the middle of the pack. Well del/Walter Cameron went on to win like 20 races .. his babies were referred to as "another scooter dud" until yrs later when Matt's Scooter was born!

A group of conditioned n/w of 3500 pacers went in 1:50 this past saturday night, what are they feeding them these days ?

[@kevinpratt5436]

Having a sore and rough gaited Palladium Lobell first over gave Matt's Scooter an insurmountable advantage in this race.

[@curragh4635]

Other than the fact that he was the best horse by alot

[@brenthachmann5655]

Camtastic was so much the best , what a horrible trip. No offense to Matts Scooter .

[@caesarfiorini]

Couldn't shine Matts horse shoes .......

[@curragh4635]

lachance didnt even hit Matts scooter with the whip once lol

[@plavine99]

Camtastic went 151.3 the week before after matt’s backed up in the stretch finished 4th and only made the final because of his time .
