Then I read somewhere about a thoroughbred that laid claim to the achievement. Google is a wonderful thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggy 4,096 Report post Posted February 8, 2018 I think you'll find that Cardy was the first standardbred to win US$1m. Something like 8 or 9 thoroughbreds preceded him. Citation was the first when he won the Hollywood Gold Cup as a 6 year old. Fartoomuch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does so he will become the first to win the ID Hunter Cup and MM in the same season. Many have tried. all have failed SO FAR. I do have a worry over the mile thought with his lack of gate speed. When a speedster leads and runs them along as in last years MM he is vulnerable to a sit and sprint situation. Lets hope he can get parked or even the lead and grind them away to another record. Hence my comment re the Meadowlands where racing is almost all a mile.

Iraklis 2,231 Report post Posted February 8, 2018 Knock it off MapleH! listen to the interview properly!....... Guys whateva yuh say bout MickG he has alot of knowledge of harness per the media, enthusiast and as an owner, actually only time I ever thought he was really talkin 'waffle', is back when the Mighty Freak returned to NZ and raced in the Rowe, on the Boxseat during the lead up he said 'Lyell was past his best and his ol warlegs would not be up to the rest of em' yaddah yaddah (Mick forgot to tell Lyell) and we all know what The Freak, the Mighty Creek, Creek The Freak, Monster Lyell Creek did in the Rowe yup! smashed dem bros, yehh boyy!!!

Highly ironic given Guerin's claim that other people don't do their research before making such claims. It would appear the only "research" he's done is read Ron Bisman's book! globederby12 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
