    Evolution of the Standardbred

    I'd like to hear the opinions of forum members past and present on their thoughts about the evolution of the breed in both gaits.


    In regards to pacers, I personally think we started to go backwards on the world stage in the seventies and the trend has continued, I'm unsure how many current forum members were around when Aust/NZ pacers started going to the US in the sixties and pretty much belted the septics up.


    I think our breed has suffered from too many US stallions and the virtual obliteration of the Globe Derby line, people will pull out stats to disprove me I'm sure and I have heard a thousand times how our breed is "catching up".....catching up to our past I suspect.


    Would love to hear what others think.


    Cheers,
    Dan
