Is this a joke? The horse never raced against the best pacers in the world in America and then when he finally did he was lucky to even hit the board on the show ticket. At the time Bret Hanover was the world champion and great sire.

😁 He was the first horse to win a million dollars and beat Bret Hanover when they first met winning the Pace of the Century. They had him on the Ed Sullivan Show. He was even barred from the betting in America for a while, He was that dominant. You don't know what you're talking about
