Thanks for uploading!! Pity that Action Skoatter (the speedy grey mare) disliked travelling .... she was nervous and over-heated But man, did I like to watch trotters like Mack Lobell, Sugarcane Hanover and Napoletano! Sweet memories indeed.
I watched these races from ring-side, right in front of the winner circle. In fact, Mack Lobell just stopped in front of me while warming up, caused by the crowd cheering from the stands and wouldn´t leave. :) Chuck Sylvester needed to show him the whip before he would start moving again. Great memories.
Thought it was 06.9... but my Swedish is way off, so you could be right :) Action was fast as a bullit anyway. She is oficially Dutch Horse of the Century. The 1988 Elitlopp was great.
No horse could beat Mack Lobell up until this time and this was the Golden Era of trotting. Im including (Ourasi) He was never the same after his European tour still great but not unbeatable..How many great hall of fame horses raced in 1988..Scenic Regal,Grades Singing, Go Get Lost, Sugarcane Hanover, Action Skoatter, I know Italy also had a great horse, and France had a few.. we will never see that again
