Nix Nacken has an amazing stride.  Watch the replay of the race and then watch the slo-mo of the finish as just eats up the track effortlessly.  I have owned many trotters over the years (from 1970 through 1995) and most of then I bought as "mature" race horses after their 3 yo season.  Aside from the usual (vet, assessment of potential soundness issues based on confirmation etc.) the single most important criterion was the gait/stride.  If he stays together, he is my Hambo pick as of today.  Apex is a magnificent creature and may be the "highest" bred trotter ever (based on both Walner and Mission Brief being 1/2/3 of all time for male and female trotters), but Nix Nacken will out-trot him comfortably based on where the two are, as of today.

I just heard that 31 horses perished

day 369
ford must resign

2 steaks on the card Wednesday at Bangor, 6 entries one race, 7 in the other.  Fields look a little stronger.
