Harness Racing, Impossible Comeback! - Hitchhiker

California Harness Racing's Sire Stakes Champion Trotter, Hitchhiker breaks stride and spots the field 20 lengths only to settle down and win the race. To make the feat more impressive...the track condition was AWFUL and was favoring the front end.

You guys need to chill a minute on the bashing of announcer Scott Ehrlich. He is probably the most knowledgeable and accessible announcer in Harness Racing. I have personally talked horses with him all the time. The rain that night was AWFUL, I can almost guarantee he had a pretty obscured view of the race because of the reflection from the heavy rain.

happened tonight at northville downs peter wrenn drove a 1/5 shot who broke spotted twenty and won easily

I saw the race in question tonight as well.

1. He spotted 15L or so def not 20.

2. He did this at the beginning of the race as opposed to the half.

3. He didn't come to a complete stop before starting back up again.

jfowl your a moron. He doesnt have to announce the whole field. do yourself a favor and watch some races before you open your pie hole. Any horse who breaks at 2/5 definately requires special attention from the announcer. as for this comeback, it wasnt all that great considering they were at the 3/4 pole in 1:33 tnd finished in 2:07. the lead horse was walking home in 34 seconds. i could of prob passed him. Hitchiker woulda prob ran a 2:02 or something like that. listen to frank salive

Maybe you should watch some races yourself. Clearly you didn't do your own "research" regarding the race. Of course the field was terrible, but HH comes to a STOP on the backstretch before starting again and wins anyway...how many times have you seen that before? Also, the track was an absolute deluge...barely anything could break 2:00 on that night...even the top pacers. And lastly, NOT A SINGLE OTHER WINNER ON THE CARD made up more than 3 lengths TOTAL on the leader to win. HH made up 20+.

@amzingjourney you're just on here to stir the pot, eh? get a life buddy. fixing races in michigan is old news. those guys are out of the business.

[amzingjourney]

what's really funny is drivers at this track have been in and out of court for fixing the races....and you idiots still dont learn......STUPID

[amzingjourney]

@hckyguy17 Hazel Park....that's because they fix the races their too...one big happy family.....Say goodbye to horseracing

[amzingjourney]

[amzingjourney]

shut racing down....corrupt and cruell

[hckyguy17]

@Shazzy172 The horse is still alive and was racing over the summer at Hazel Park. Not sure what the owner plans on doing but slaughter house is definitely not an option.

[hckyguy17]

@JR08620 The horse is in Michigan with Ronnie Wrenn Jr
