Art Official won the Cane at Freehold a month later(after M1 Pace) then wasn't very good after that.

He won a LBJ elim and lost to Shadow Play in the final
2 nice horses born in the wrong year

[Bitter Truth]

Class act, SBSW of course but I particularly liked Village Jasper. Won the Confederation Cup
back when it was 3 yr old race. Interesting enough, The Provincial Cup was just the opposite, as they
raced older horse like Cardigan Bay, then made it a 3 yr old race,  before they go shut down. sad

Yes he won his LBJ elim but was extremely steppy all day long

Pierce did a masterful job holding him together

Seekman refused an interview after the shaky elim--he wasn't happy

Shadow Play crushed the field in The Final and it was no contest

a month later AO did pace a meaningless 49 mile at Lexington but a lot of horses did

he was a dud as a stud

Remember I told you Ricardo Santana wasn't on the #3 in the second race today. If you google, Paulick Report, Wrong Jockey Listed for Saratoga Race, there's a big story about it.

Paul seems like a great guy and he showed his class when he gave up the drive on Beach Glass. However, he did make a bad decision in the Meadowlands Pace which is why SBSW did not retire undefeated. That was a race he could have won.

[Brown jug]

losing the meadowlands pace was unfortunate
however over time it became less of a negative
one of the greatest if not the greatest  race horses of all time
hands down the best combination of race horse and sire for a pacer by far

[Lance]

Paul had an illustrious career, one of the nicest and most respected guys in the business. A true gentleman.   

[clearmind]

   One of the best if not the best horse ever to look through a bridle was upset by Onion at Saratoga.
That was SECRETERIAT.
       Niatross was also defeated at Saratoga harness when he spooked and went over the rail.
In my book these were the three best horses of their generation by far and dominated all others.

     My point records don't necessarily mean anything.

How is Onion defeating Secretariat relevant to Paul Macdonell?
