I was fortunate enough to see Niatross race at Pompano. What a race. He was on top all the way around. The Pack stayed with him until about the half. Then the driver stepped on the accelerator and this horse flew. Won by at least 1/8 of a mile. Most exciting race I ever saw. And I groomed standardbreds for nearly 15 years. Did you know he had a woman groom. I got pictures.
Nialator was a beast just like his daddy. I was a the Meadowlands for his first race in his life, I would love to see that, a wild, I don't know how wide move a the top of the street check, what I remember was that it was so wide, a great Sprint then to the wire, great memories, hopefully more forth coming 👍
Nihilator was a wonderful horse but his sire Niatross was something so special , I remember 1979 his 2 yr old campaign , then 1980 , and the summer mostly , I saw every one of his races at the meadowlands that summer, he was without a doubt the most special Harness horse who ever lived
they had otra before matts scooter. the Rumpels bought otra at an auction for 25k. the misses was bored and her doctor suggested a hobby. they offered jaraviski half for 25k. he said no. then they bought matts for250k again rumples offered half 250k. to jaravinski this time he said yes.
Look I love horse racing and harness racing is something I always wanted to get into but lately overall the horse racing industry is getting bad press with horses breaking down like crazy at a certain American track (thoroughbreds) and really everyone knows horses are not mature at 2 and 3 years old. Can we please see the end of racing horses at 2 and 3?

Funny how Nihilator avoided On The Road Again.

AI ways B Miki went 1:47 and 1:46
And these were actual races not time trials. So could say maybe 1:45:1
