    Let's face it, when Sam McKee would call a race you could close your eyes and still see the race, we all miss you Sam and cherish listening to the replays!

    Great horse, wonderful gate, a credit to his breed, people that compare horses, from different generations, you trying to massage your EGO, dan patch, greyhound, adios, meadow skipper, albatross, niatross, cam fella, staying together, somebeachsomewhere,bulldog hanover, and many more I missed, enjoy their racing, dont compare, who cares.

    If anything time has only burnished the Beach's Legacy. What a monster. I get goosebumps watching him pace. What a gait. He just was perfect.

    The scary part is that at that point in the season he wasnt as sharp as he had been earlier. In the Meadowlands Pace he went in 1:47 in a much rougher trip.

    I get how people like to compare great racehorses. But you cant. there are too many variables. But we need to remember that those great racehorses from years gone by are all a part of our horses of today. We couldnt be where we are without them. Niatross opened the door to sub 1:50 miles. beautiful horse to watch. big and powerful stride. the Beach, was a freight train. perfect stride, and beautiful to watch also. I am just so happy to have seen them race. :) Perfection in motion!!

    Greatest pacer Ever, No question about it! If he would have comeback as a 4 year old he would have paced in 1:45 and change!

    • @parkerbohnn
      @parkerbohnn 6 років тому +1

      With a real driver he would have paced 1:45 and change as a 3 year old. Too bad they didn't choose Ron Waples senior as the driver instead of that inept MacDonell. Waples at the time was at least 5 lengths better than MacDonell on any horse from claimers to freeforallers.

      Super sire!! Always look for the great standardbred horses with the cow shit drivers like Paul MacDonell that's what makes a super sire. I keep on thinking what somebeachsomewhere could have done at the red mile that day had Ron Waples senior been the full time driver. I'm guessing 1:45.2

    Great race call by the legendary Sam McKee. Who was the best 3 year old pacer ever? I might give Somebeachsomewhere the edge over Niatross and Jenna's Beach Boy, but who knows. It hurt the sport when two of those three didn't race at 4.

      Not even close, Niatross before, hard clay surface, banked turns, synthetic harness, aerodynamic sulky made of grapite and carbon fiber. I saw Niatross at 18-19 yrs old @Freehold raceway, he looked amazing and his trainer said hes the only horse he knew who would rather race then go to stud. If train down he could probably still do 156 at 18... not taking anything from Somebeach, but if you know harness racing he's not even as good as Blacks a fake..Google him and then respond...over and over again..from two..3 wide.

      Remember the offspring of somebeachsomewhere and the fact MacDonell couldn't drive a shit wagon at the time. He was better than Pat Crowe as a driver at the time. The breeding on the dam side of somebeachsomewhere is stellar going back several generations unlike Niatross. I personally know Pat and I was the only person who tried to talk Harvey Madgett out of selling Cam Fella (for 50 thousand Canadian dollars) when he was a two year old. I've yet to see a better bone structure on any horse since Direct Scooter so my nod goes to somebeachsomewhere.

    @Tampaslice I have to agree with you on your comment. There are some cheap 3k claiming thoroughbreds up @ Finger Lakes Race track that can't break a 1:43 mile and it would have been so cool to see Niatross beat a Thoroughbred and it could still be possible if another Niatross type comes into our lives again.
    Best of luck to you.

  • @turncapp
    @turncapp 12 років тому +1

    He was only a 3 year old when he hit that mark??? Wow. I know Cambest has the fastest mile ever clocked but it was a time trial not a race. For a thoroughbred that would be unheard of but standarbreds are such athletes, they can easily hit race times in training.

      Not to mention MacDonell couldn't drive a shit wagon at the time. I was a local at both Greenwood and Mohawk for 40 years until Greenwood closed. I also played pinball at Greenwood and at the Orchard Park tavern across the street 'til they both closed. A lot of people just went to Greenwood and the bar across the street to watch me play pinball. I was 6 time world pinball champion.

    Considering Niatross ran the times of today 30 years ago. Put him in a race today he'd probably run in the 1:41.3 range.

      Niatross had a pig for a dam but out of a good sire ByeBye Bird. Just like Fan Hanover had a pig of a dam Farm Norah but out of Bret Hanover.

    Great horse, really special. But the immortal Niatross transcended time and I'd have to think he would have ripped SBSW a new one, had they met. Just a reminder, Niatross went 1:49 in 1980 for Gods sake.

    • @parkerbohnn

    will be interested to see what he does as a sire...right now hes the best ever...but if hes a dud as a stud then it wont matter ...i dont think he will be but you never know until the babies hit the track...the most intriguing match up and the potential greatest race horse ever will be the offspring of SBSW and Rainbow Blue

      Wrong..Niatross was..he went in 149.3 when the old record was 1:52 & before carbon fiber Sulky and synthetic harness and souped up cement (Hard Clay)tracks. Two generations ahead of his time.

    Would have loved to see him race as a 4 year old. I know he could have went faster as a 4 year old. In this race the driver never hit the horse just pushed him. If he was more aggressive driving him he could have went faster. I would love to see a 4 year old Somebeachsomewhere in a 3 way match race. A 4 year old Somebeachsomewhere VS A 5 year old Always Be Miki and a 4 year old Wiggleitjiggleit. You must consider that this race Somebeachsomewhere is only 3 years old.

    • @parkerbohnn
      @parkerbohnn 6 років тому

      MacDonell at the time couldn't drive a shit wagon, that's why somebeachsomewhere was such a super sire. The same with Came Fella Crowe was a terrible driver. I was a local and owned standardbred horses at Greenwood for 40 years to the day it closed.

      What they needed to do was put rompin Ronny Waples in the bike for all the drives. Then we'd see if Ronny could crack the 1:45 mark at the red mile.

    @TheBlacksAfake No just stop, If somebeachsomewhere kept racing into his 4, 5, and 6 year old years he would have made well over 5 million dollars and probably gone in 1:45:4. Also he doesnt use lasix, so that is totally irrelevant. He lost one fluke race in his life. Greatest pacer ever

      Somebeachsomewhere never had a driver, had Ron Waples senior driven the horse he certainly would have gone sub 1:46. Waples was about 7 lengths better than Mcdonnell at the time so 1:45:2
