    I agree Dan. He is the horse of a lifetime
    Somehow it does not seem right that he is going around in a race for a mere $18k (first) - he shouldn't have to get out of his stable for that
    The equivalent multi millionaire in the thoroughbred world would have been racing exclusively in Group races - I don't know that I would if my surname was Seymour but maybe he should be in the US. I think I would rather stay home with my boy as the money is not important really

    The best Pacer the world has seen since Cardigan Bay and he doesn't need to go to the Northern Hemisphere to prove it, but gee it would be great to see. He is the total package just as Cardy was.

    Leap To Fame is why we had Stand Start races - without him handicapped, nothing is going to beat him

    In all my years of being involved in HR I have never seen a horse like him , well except for the mighty Evils Afoot.
    Mark can not understand how you didn't win the MM with her Dan.

    I blame myself Trish, after the excitement of Broken Hill and then Maitland, I thought we had achieved everything possible......and forgot about the MM.
    If only I could retrace the steps.

    Larry continues to set new standards, he is on another level to the great horse of recent times, Westburn Grant was a superstar in his day that could mix it with the best over the Mile and also over 2 miles, but he was a far better horse when he led. Just like Cardigan Bay, Larry doesn't seem to are where he sits in the running, his tractability, bottom and versatility continue to set him apart.

    Fingers crossed for his connections, I just love watching him compete.

    They were strung out like Browns Cows at the end of that, such a dominant performance AGAIN, the further they go, the more he makes them look second rate. In races like that you usually see the other drivers just trying to run a good second or third. I have to say it didn't look like that for as many as usual.

    I woukd love to see what he could do to the world record at The Meadowlands set by Bulldog Hanover but he has nothing to prove, he is simply the best I have seen.
