Importantly, the opposition never seemed a chance. It's pretty hard to line up the form and abilities of horses from different hemispheres but, on today's race, Laz is King.
WINS the Dan Patch on US debut.
Time nothing special by their standards (1.48.8 our timing) but he had to work from 9 in taking the lead

Was a bit worried when I saw that the Kiss of Death had tipped Laz but he went real nice
I was a bit worried that we were not going to see the race on Sky1 because of a clash with NZ gallops race at Riccarton!
But the amount of lead in time the race got was equal to an INTER
No doubt had to do with nothing having started in Australian Capital cities at that time
But if Sky stay on board Lazarus in the Northern hemi might do as much for Southern hemi harness as he did down here

Canadian Pacing Derby next
$100 on the nose Rich?
It should not be mind boggling for Lazarus to reach 1.46 ish as My Field Marshall has run 1.46.9 at Menangle
Except for the fact that we know the mile is NOT Lazarus's best distance

Time trial at the Red Mile may be worth some consideration in the future
For sure Jim
