Globederby19 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Sorry Robert you are right. Dont know where I got the notion it was a trotter. Lots of info stored in the brain but not always regurgitated in the correct way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Readville, Massachusetts on August 27, 1897, Star Pointer became the "Pacing King" by going the mile in 1:59 1/4, the first harness horse ever to beat 2:00. His last campaign was in 1899, after which he broke down and was retired to stud in Columbia, Tennessee, where he died in 1910 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first pacer outside America to pace a mile in under 2 minutes at Addington in 1938. What a beauty he is from all those years ago!!! . I was flat out to get anything to run 2 minutes with hopples on, 1/2 a Century later lol. Incidently , the son of Lawn Derby that won the Interdominion off 24yards, in Sydney 1952 , was AVIAN DERBY who was the first Horse in Australia to break the 2 Minute barrier in a time trial at Harold Park 14 years after his sire created that Immortal moment at Addington as you have said , of 1.59.4 in 1938.

Both withdrawn from series. Trainer’s representative Anthony Butt also reported to Stewards this morning that Stable Veterinarian Dr Andrew Argyle had examined Majestic Man. Dr Argyle advised that upon scope Majestic Man had displayed signs of mucus but nothing that should prevent the gelding from further competing in the Inter Dominion series. Blood tests were also taken and the results should be available tomorrow. Edited December 2, 2021 by karrotsishere 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They recently 'Quinella'd the prestigious Victoria Cup , knocking off 'King Of Swing' (3rd in that race) who is the Interdomnion Favourite and leading on points so far. So that gives some hope of Nz and Oz connections of those 2 horses, that McCarthy can get beaten after-all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But last time I saw ALL 3 of them race in G1 they team drove & as Spirit the 3rd tier distinguished his chances by allowing KOS the 1/1 while he was taken back in field. Also like to see MM bounce back in final. Read an Oz journo said he thought he was "unfit" lol. Unfit, doubt it. More like a. tired horse. b. didn't back up c. sick horse d. off day - we all have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfit, doubt it. More like a. tired horse. b. didn't back up c. sick horse d. off day - we all have them. Answer was C - sick horse. (with a low grade lung infection) On HRNZ here is the update. Majestic Man's NSW Inter Dominion quest is back on target. After a big scare at Bathurst on Wednesday night, co-trainer and driver Anthony Butt gave the star trotter the thumbs-up today. "He seems good today. His bloods came back not looking too bad, just a low grade lung infection by the look of things," he said. So, Majestic Man can continue his series, albeit in a challenging heat at Newcastle on Sunday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little champ I'm Themightyquinn on the outside there with white sulky, promoted to 1st place for Gary Hall Jnr. WA. The 2 Obscured horses are the GF winners from the previous 2 years!. Blacks A Fake (Nat 3rd) and Mr Feelgood (Luke McCarthy 5th) Luke looks cranky but should be grinning this year with a BIG chance of his first Interdom victory !!)

Lightning Blue Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Com'on Robert!! . no handicap. you can join in as reckon you will remember the last 2 disqualifications for a Interdom GF positive swab in your vast knowledge-bank. Clue for everyone except Enteebee (with 6 hour handicap for excessive galloping) Clue is they were both in the same Interdominion Grand Final run in New Zealand.
