Hi do you know who is the best trotter ever?

His name is "VARENNE" a italian horse , watch my video on my channel please! " Varenne-the best trotter ever"

That was big time racing for sure. Lots of Hall of Famers there. Dream of Glory went on to have a good career as a stallion for Armstrong Brothers in Canada.

fantastic turn of speed.

of course the horse was most often driven by Pius Soehnlen----O'Brien gave us the chance to see how great this trotter really was.........which most of us already knew

Bill Megens is my grandpa :) I was surprised to find a video of my family's horse races...of course Snegem Flight was an amazing horse

Seldom in my life have I seen a horse make up this much ground in the homestretch of a half-mile track - this may well have been the most impressive stretch kick in the history of Roosevelt Raceway. Joe O'Brien, Dream Of Glory, and Roosevelt Raceway: three of the all-time greats, no doubt! RIP Joe. In a perfect world, Barry Goldstein & Bill Hopkins would be in prison, breaking big rocks into smaller rocks....

The close wasn't that impressive, given how the leaders took turns killing each other for six turns.

When only one horse has energy left, it can fly late.

the close was very impressive because it was the master joe obrien watch he never uses the whip he rarely did

@televin Slower surfaces and equipment, plus international racing is all strategic, without as much emphasis on pace or split times.
