I watched these races from ring-side, right in front of the winner circle. In fact, Mack Lobell just stopped in front of me while warming up, caused by the crowd cheering from the stands and wouldn´t leave. :) Chuck Sylvester needed to show him the whip before he would start moving again. Great memories.

I remember this, both finishing 1st and 2nd, this would never happen in todays harness racing :)

Thanks for uploading!! Pity that Action Skoatter (the speedy grey mare) disliked travelling .... she was nervous and over-heated But man, did I like to watch trotters like Mack Lobell, Sugarcane Hanover and Napoletano! Sweet memories indeed.

Thanks for posting this - one of my favourite races! The drama of Sugarcane and Napoletano coming back after their early errors is brilliant.

What a race the first heat with Sugarcane and Napoletano so far from the lead after the starting fault.

But they come back and won easily after this handicap race. Now it can't happen even because there are not champs in track like Sugarcane and Napoletano.
