The horse has been a true superstar of the game and anyone that's a horse fan of any type would have to love him for his ability, durablility, but most of all his outstanding courage!!! Hope he gets a wonderful send off, he deserves nothing less.
oops Sorry Paul, missed your earlier thread that had slipped down the list from 4 hours earlier!
The Mighty Trigger will finally be having is beyond well deserved rest. This horse has been very special to me for so many reasons. I would like to say thank you for all the special memories over the years, the thrills, the excitement, and the list goes on and on. I have never seen a braver/tougher more courageous horse than yourself and I highly doubt I will in my life time.
Thanks to Lance for the excitement he had with you, it must be extremely difficult to end the dream run he has had with you over the many years. I'm so sad that your racing days are finally coming to an end but I m so happy that you are healthy and you enjoy the rest of your life.
Thanks again Smoken Up/Trigger, Love ya!
Watching the way Trigger still races with that outstanding will to win, it is obviously Lance's decision not Triggers. He would still prefer a fight to a feed.
A true racehorse who has seen off over the last few years many would be heirs to his throne.
I remember that race when he was nearly 3 wide the trip, the race where David Hercules was in. What a run!! I was screaming my head off! Next to these words in the dictionary, Champion, Legend, Brave, Courageous, Warrior, should be a picture of Trigger :)
Spot on Evangelos
Not making comparisons with horses but remember the start of the Phar Lap movie?
The reporter bloke walks up the hill to Mr Telford and says "Why all the fuss? He was just a horse". To which he gruffly replied "He wasn't just a horse".
I'm sure there are many, many stories out there of what Smoken Up meant to people other than being 'just a horse'. We've got one and I know of a few others too and hopefully they all get told.
Looking forward to the celebrations... son packed his bag last night.
He wasn't just a horse applies to the King for certain!
I'd love to hear your story/stories Paul, & anyone else's stories on how this Great horse impacted them.
He is my favourite Pacer of all time & I will treasure all the memories!
Quoting http://www.harness.org.au/news-artic...?news_id=23622 This season he’s had 21 starts for six wins and nine minor placings for earnings of $229,643.
Goes a long way to backing up the horse is still a champ. Got to love his Popular Alm Sprint run, beaten by a swooper out wide in the shadows of the post. Any chance there's a slim chance we might see SU v ITMQ at Menangle one last time?? Either way, I'm not convinced we won't see SU once again decked in garlands of glory before the carnival is over. Maybe Sam will get the Seekers back from the UK.
That would be such a draw card, TriggerVQuinny!
Unfortunately, Trigger is 2 yrs older than Quinny, and regardless of the amazing runs he is still racing, Quinny is racing better than ever before or just as good, so it wouldn't really be a fair match up at all IMO.
I still truly believe, that at Triggers peak, and Quinnies peak, Trigger would be the Victor!
Both are Champions of the game, I just prefer Triggers beast/ferocious fighting style!
I wonder if this will be one of those Johnny Farnham farewell tours:)
You're a funny bugger Leigh, and I hope you are wrong, as much as I would like to see Trigger race on forever, because his gigantic heart is always on display, dreamtime makes way for reality!Quote:

I will say it's a bloody shame it's not on Satdy night along with Menangle & Melton though.
No way a shame Brent! We wouldn't be able to be at Melton and Globe Derby if it was on Satdy night!!Quote:

I love watching that replay Bailey, never gets old!
Hey Smoken, have you done your time or are you out on bail???? haha
Hi Bailey, Smoken's been doing detention, He's a very naughty boy lol.
The sin bin sux guys :( :)
Who do you guys think will try lead in Triggers last race? I'd say Astronaut and Mark Dennis will try get there first. What are the chances of Trigger? Come On Frank is in career best form and is a danger.. I hope Trigger goes out a winner at his last race @ Globe Derby.
We made it in time for first..just. Luke very excited. Dad numb arse - SDVETS.
Lovely sunny warm day. Fair crowd here.
What a horse, what a race call!! A few tears of happiness and sadness at the same time for me! Love Trigger! Well done Trigger & Lance!
Didn't hear call. Crowd up yelling 2 laps out. Absolute magic! Go Trigger!Quote:

Hes been a superhorse and although hes at the end of his career he still hasnt lost that courage and determination to win. Great race, great call, great win trigger and lance and only .6 of a second off the track record which was set in the inter heats back in 2007. Farewell champ i think you definetly have left the people of S.A with some great memories.
'Father of the Year' stuff I reckonQuote:

I think I saw Paul & Luke with Lance after the race, I wasn't able to catch up with them but I heard Lance wish Paul good luck with his horse. Great work Lance.
So many locals saying they are going to Melton for his last run.
.6 of the record? At age 12? Geeeezzz... Would have loved to be there, but God willing, will be at Melton for sure :)
Yes looked like he got around the corner pretty good as well.
