How do you figure ?
He got beat by one of the best horses ever.
!983 US Pacing Championship at the Big M. Right?
The Allen's talked a lot of crap going into the race which was uncharacteristic of them. That aside, Allen pulls the pocket off a 58.1 half, sprints by, opens up a huge lead, looks as if he has TOTALLY put away Cam Fella, then It's Fritz came to a sudden and embarrassing walk deep stretch and gets re - passed not only by Cam Fella but by another horse for second after the field got somewhat scattered at the start. Marty Allens repeated tomahawk chops on the ass of a totally spent It's Fritz looked desperate and amateurish. It's Fritz paced little more than a quarter mile in that race and people talked about him being a rather gutless speed freak. That's how I figure. The buzz around the track was that the Allen's were so confident in IR that they put the very young Marty on the horse and not Rod or Carl.
