    Without a doubt that was the best drive I have ever seen John Campbell give a horse. If you studied this race like I did back then you can see that John was not only driving Lifesign but he was also driving Riyadh, by staying back beside Jack or only at Riyadh’s wheel. This got the 2 middle quarters the way he wanted them in 57.4 almost .58 then he started coming up toward last turn and it was a dash to the finish. That's the way I seen it, Anyone else and Lifesign does not beat Riyadh. Personally I feel John Campbell was the greatest driver ever. And that's saying something because there are some great drivers.

    Im Themightyquinn (AUD$4.2m / USD$107m with the current value of the USD). There are a couple of other factors that also speak to the difference in the mile record between the US & ANZ. 1. We generally don't have time trials - we leave timetrials to countries who believe running fast times & not winning races is important. 2. Drugs are illegal in ANZ. The same philosophy that allowed Lance Armstrong to get away with cheating in 7 TDF's pervades your racing industries. In ANZ we put the...

      +John Onda Greatest Jug ever but in the 2nd Elimination Campbell screwed Walter Case jr on the 1 horse. Walter let John go and John should not have let Presidential Ball go. Walter let John go because Walter wanted the front or the 2 hole and John knows he was wrong for doing that to Case.

    • @johnonda9541
      @johnonda9541 9 років тому

      You're right about Case letting Campbell go. He wanted the 2-hole in the 1st elim. Also you have to realize, while Case was a terrific driver (I hope they let him drive again), John Campbell IS JOHN CAMPBELL.

    • @howardm74
      @howardm74 9 років тому

      John Onda Walter Case Jr is the greatest harness racing history but problems off the Racetrack were his undoing. Walter can not comeback to who he use to be. Since 2003 he has only drove a few times at Plainridge then they would not let him drive. Just like any sport you do not want a great one to comeback only a shell of himself. Example ALI came back to fight Larry Holmes if anyone has seen it. It was very sad Holmes pummeled ALI but Holmes was begging the Referee to stop the fight. Walter could be The George Foreman of comebacks. Foreman was out of boxing 11 years Walter has been away since 2003.

    Been to almost every Harness Track during my long life. I've heard them all since the 60's and while Roger Huston is by far the worst announcer in harness history, post below most be related to him to make such a comment about him, there is one announcer who stands alone for those who had the pleasure of listening to him, The Late Jack E. Lee stands alone as the greatest. Just a shame millions never got to hear him during the 60's, 70's and even 80's when there wasn't simulcasting. But anyone that goes back some years will tell you, "There was Jack E. Lee" then all the rest.

    • @unclebillmusic
      @unclebillmusic 8 років тому +2

      I met Jack once at the O T B in Glen Cove. I asked him what the double was going to be that night. He said "B B"(2,2). The 2 favorites- $6.00 double ! I don't play chalk. Anyway, I also said to him, Jack, you are the greatest race announcer since since Fred Capposella. He said to me, "Thank You, that's a very nice compliment" Sometimes I would call the "stretch call" just to hear him call a race !!! (it was a 976 number, 2121 was the result line, and there was one for the stretch. I think it was 976 7676. LONG LIVE JACK E. LEE

    @hunterman966 The US certainly has the best horses in the world. The quality of pacers bred in ANZ (Australia & New Zealand) has improved significantly over the last 20 years with the influx of quality US stallions such as Mach 3, Fake Left, Bettor's Delight & Washington VC (amongst many others). Given the differences in the way our racing has developed & the US equivalent there is very little between the two codes. With some minor adjustments ANZ pacing would be on par with that...

Since the introduction of the mile track at Menangle the mile times have tapered down significantly. Again, this is not the focus for ANZ racing so no-one really cares. You're right, ANZ breeders invest a lot of money in looking at US stallions. In fact, given the shitty value of the US $ the trend is to look at racing stock from ...

Compared to racing in ANZ it is second-rate in terms of entertainment value. This is obviously just my opinion. If ANZ racing was like it is in the states I would not follow it.
