I saw Niatross race a few times but was most impressed with him in 1995 when they took him from the farm to showcase him at Freehold Raceway.He was almost 17, his eyes and coat looked great. I asked his handler, how he looked so good at his age.I was told he got bored easy so they treat him with letting him go in the sulky I was told when he trained he would want to turn and start to race.He still went quarters in 30 or so and halves in 60 His trainer swore he could still do 56 if trained down.

A lot of people criticize Clint's driving, but I challenge any driver to do a better job than this. This was an incredibly good drive, and it's not out of the question that another driver in the bike might have got the great one beat.

Dave Mattia I agree..the same flawed logic is employed when horses such as Beach Towel and Cam Fella are mentioned..The TRAINERS drove these horses,and they had the best plan for the horse's well being in choosing the stakes engagements..

Clint did a masterful job this night with Niatross. Clint started the Trend that still happens Today. Keep the Favorite out and moving shoot to the front when you can!

I'm betting that Clint won more races than the people criticizing him ever did. 😅
