Brings back memories! I was one of the owners of Dragon's Lair and owned him while he stood stud and until his passing at Lindwood Farm. Earlier that evening in the first elimination heat - Nihalator beat the Dragon by a nose and set a world record. This was the final and the second race that same evening at the Meadows. Dragon's Lair took the lead and went all the way while setting yet another track record that evening. Lou Guida, the owner of Nihalator, was so impressed he became a partnr
Nihalator was a great champion, however not invincable. He was beaten as a 2 year old in the breeders crown here finishing 3rd with dragons lair, broadway express in front. He was beaten at garden state park in a upset by armbro dallas finishing second. He was beaten by marauder actually twice. The first was a heat of adios in which nihalator finished 4th, with chairman of the board and dignatarian along with maruader in front. Finally, he was beaten in a walkover by marauder in 2:26

This was the race that decided USTA Horse of the Year for 1984, and Fancy Crown won because Nihilator lost.
