The pacers that Maori's Idol raced against and beat, as a trotter, put him in the absolute top echelon for all-time! Generally, a trotter cannot go as fast as a pacer, look at Mr Zion - Group 1 winner as a pacer & trotter, his trotting times were slower than when he was a pacer!......Maori's Idol's performances when you take this into perspective, are therefore even greater!.....when he can beat the best pacers in the land at the time, as a trotter!
