chapter twelve nevele pride and retired as the fastest...

CHAPTER TWELVEMODERN ERA CHAMPIONS

The early champions were commonly those that established the fastest times, yet were renowned for

their endurance. Age was certainly no barrier either, as many raced for up to sixteen seasons using

equipment that was heavy and cumbersome. The horses of this chapter have raced during the last

sixty four years and under far better racing conditions. With a few minor exceptions, the one

mile dash has replaced heat racing and careers are often completed after just two years of racing.

TROTTING CHAMPIONS

Most of the champions on the following lists have earned their place by extending their careers to

open company, and racing over a diversity of tracks. Many have also competed against the best of

Europe and prevailed under foreign conditions.

There are many champions, particularly mares,

which have narrowly missed selection on this elite list. While space does not permit all of these to be

discussed the following do warrant mention.

Continentalvictory not only defeated the colts

regularly but in winning the Hambletonian trotted the fastest mile in history. Her Triple Crown was denied

through injury. She was retired to stud at three while Moni Maker, from the same crop, raced on into

history and is discussed below.

Another mare, Fresh Yankee, was the first

American trotter to win one million dollars. Her eighty nine wins represented almost half of her one

hundred and ninety one starts, many of them against world class opposition. She was voted

Trotting Mare of the Year four times and held five world records. She was one of the few to defeat

Nevele Pride and retired as the fastest trotting mare

in history.

Belle Acton won fifty eight races, retired as the

highest ever money earning standardbred, and only mare to better two minutes on a half mile track.

The number of Classic Race wins is a reliable indicator of relative racing performance, as it

measures success at the top level. Table 12.1 lists the ten trotters with the largest number of Classic

Race victories. The mares Grades Singing and Peaceful Way are another two that could also have

claimed a place among the greatest ten trotters of the Modern Era.

The second measure used in selecting the greatest trotters of the Modern Era is the number of wins to

starts over their entire career. Table 12.2 lists the top ten performers.

While win to race ratio and Classic Race wins are reliable indicators of performance, they are not the

only ones that need to be included. Consideration must also be given to such factors as track size,

duration of racing career and quality of opposition.

For example, Muscle Hill has an amazing win ratio,

as have recent champions such as Glidemaster, Donato Hanover, and Deweycheatumnhowe. All had

carefully managed careers that avoided the smaller

half mile tracks, and each raced only in their own age groups. It will never be known whether any of

them could have matched the international exploits of Peace Corps and Mack Lobell, or the free-for-all

dominance of Nevele Pride.

The fastest two and three year old in the history of trotting, Mack Lobell became the fastest ever trotter

in America at three and in Europe at age four.

Mack Lobell consistently ranks with Greyhound and Nevele Pride as one of the greatest three trotters of all time and was outstanding on both American and

European tracks over six seasons.

His European record boasts thirty two wins and five seconds from thirty eights races against the very best. Twice he won the Swedish Eltilopp, a feat

achieved by only eight horses in the fifty eight years

that it has been run. He was also victorious in Germany, Italy, Denmark, Norway and Finland.




CLASSIC RACE RECORD FOR MACK LOBELL

His pedigree has the Volomite-Scotland sire line cross with a 3x3 cross to Speedster. He is from the

Medio family and his grandam won two Classic Races at three.

PEACE CORPS

World Champion and fastest trotter in America at three, Peace Corps went on to win the Breeders

Crown at four before racing in Europe.

Her European victories, over five years, included

the prestigious Elitlopp, along with the top races of France, Italy and Norway. She returned to campaign

in America, winning the Roosevelt International at five and a second Breeders Crown at six. She was

the first mare to win a race in under 1:53.

consecutive wins. He established a two heat world record in winning the Kentucky Futurity and was the highest stake earning trotter for the season.

At age four he became a World Champion and the

fastest trotter in history with his 1:51 time trial. He won the Breeders Crown and then a heat of the Elitlopp in Europe.

CLASSIC RACE RECORD FOR PINE CHIP

MONI MAKER

At three, Moni Maker won eighteen consecutive races and finished the season with a solitary loss. She raced in France, Italy, Denmark, Norway and

Sweden, winning the Elitlopp in race record time

and the Copenhagen Cup in world record time. She was also the first American trotter to win both the Prix d'Amerique and Prix de France.

At seven she recorded the fastest time ever in

Europe when winning the Grand Criterium de Vitesse in T1:53.2. She retired in 2000 with six world records and as the wealthiest standardbred of

all time. In her final appearance, at The Red Mile,

she trotted a world record 1:54.1 mile under saddle.

MUSCLE HILL

Muscle Hill gained selection on this list despite only

two seasons of racing. In this time he lost only his first race, before twenty consecutive wins. He was

the fastest two year old of his year and the second fastest in history.

At three he earned more in a single season than any other standardbred in the history of the sport.

He also became a World Champion when his

T1:50.1 made him the fastest three year old trotter in history and the second fastest trotter of all time.

Muscle Hill missed the Triple Crown when his owners elected not to start him in the Yonkers Trot

and, like Super Bowl, he retired before he could be tested in open company. However, the effortless

nature of his wins has led many to regard him as one of the great trotters of all time.

CLASSIC RACE RECORD FOR MUSCLE HILL




PACING CHAMPIONSThe first pacing champions of the Modern Era

comprised a host of progeny by Adios. Two are included on the list of greatest performers but others

narrowly missed selection. At age four, Adios Harry became only the fifth pacer of all time to record six

wins in two minutes, then the first pacer to win in 1:55, a record he held for sixteen years. At the close

of his career he held twelve world records and was the wealthiest pacer in history. Adios Vic won

eighteen of forty eight as an aged pacer but four of these were against Bret Hanover. He was the only

horse to defeat him more than once.

Among the daughters of Adios, Dotties Pick set

world records at two, three and four years of age. One was set in winning a heat of the Little Brown

Jug against the colts, when she also became the first filly to win in two minutes on a half mile track.

She won six Classic Races and retired as the fastest four year old mare in history. The dual gaited

Countess Adios won two legs of the Triple Crown but was ineligible for the Little Brown Jug. At four

she raced twelve times as a trotter.

Taking over where his sire left off, Race Time was

another of the early champion pacers of the Modern Era. He was voted Pacer of the Year in all three

seasons that he raced but was especially outstanding as a three year old, when he was both

the fastest and wealthiest pacer of the year. It seemed he would become the second winner of the

pacing Triple Crown, but illness led to his withdrawal from the Little Brown Jug. He won Pacer of the Year

honours again at four.

Another worthy of mention is World Champion and

Pacer of the Year, Jennas Beach Boy. He won thirty of his forty two races and retired as the fastest

pacer in history. Eight of his wins were in 1:50 or better.

There were also other mares, whose performances

ranked them among the champions, that narrowly missed selection.

Handle With Care won her first twenty four races and finished her career with fifty three wins from

ninety nine starts over four years. She set numerous world records and retired as the richest

and fastest pacing mare in history. She was voted Horse of the Year in Canada and USA. Handle With

Care could hold her own against the best male pacers and beat a field of star colts to record the

fastest race time in history by a filly. It was only the second 1:55 win in history. At four she beat the

males again in the Yonkers International in world record time.

At two, Fan Hanover won sixteen of nineteen races and paced a world record. At three she won

seventeen from twenty three races and paced the fastest mile ever by a three year-old filly. She

became the first filly to win the Little Brown Jug, then completed her career at four with a further

twelve wins in which she became the fastest mare in harness history. Her career comprised forty five

wins from seventy two starts and earnings of almost one million dollars.

FAN HANOVER

Tarport Hap was a World Champion, the second highest money-winning pacing mare ever, won fifty

five races from ninety three starts and won twenty times in two minutes.

As with the trotters, the number of Classic Race wins is a reliable indicator of champion status. Table

12.4 lists the leading ten pacers for the Modern Era.

All ten horses listed in Table 12.6 as the ʻGreatest

Four of the ten have won the ʻTriple Crownʼ while the remaining six have won at least one leg of the

Crown and retired as either the fastest or wealthiest pacer in the history of the sport.

Their dominance is also marked by the number of

successive unbeaten races. Bret Hanover leads the way with thirty five in succession while Cam Fella

accumulated twenty eight and Romeo Hanover twenty one. It should be noted that Handle With

Care, who did not make the list, notched up twenty four in succession.

only nine races at three was the first pacer to win a Triple Crown. In the process he became the fastest

three year old of the year, won the Messenger in track record time and was the first to win the Little

Brown Jug in under two minutes.

Adios Butler was the first horse to win twenty races

in two minutes and the first to better 1:55. He became World Champion and the fastest pacer in

history at four when he was voted Harness Horse of the Year. He won the honor again the following

season when he was also the fastest and wealthiest pacer for the year.

At three his owners challenged world record holder

Bret Hanover to a match race but this never eventuated. At four he defeated Cardigan Bay in the

one and a half mile International Pace to record his twenty first consecutive race win. After a brief stud

career in America he was exported to New Zealand where he had moderate success.

ROMEO HANOVER

ALBATROSS

ALBATROSS

A World Champion in all three years that he raced, Albatross retired as the all-time leading money

earning pacer as well as the fastest in history. He missed winning the Triple Crown after a surprise

defeat by Nansemond in The Little Brown Jug. He also lost his first three races at four but finished his

career with more Classic Race wins than any other pacer besides Bret Hanover and averaged a win at

four of every five starts.

His greatest attribute was his gait and Stanley

Dancer believed he could have raced free legged.
