Guts (on the mile track) and Nickawampus Leroy (on the half-miler) were the "Silky Sullivans" of Harness Racing, able to close ferociously in the last 3/8 of a mile. Nickawampus always looked like he was about to kick himself (very "racky" gaited).

WTF is a Genius Kahn? You are definitely not a genius to write that. I assume you mean Genghis Khan
I loved watching Nickawampus Leroy and George Phalen flying in the stretch at Yonkers and Roosevelt. I can't remember another horse that could close like he did.
