  Unless he kept close tabs on the action, he's out of touch, and won't last long.  New guys/stock will eat him up. He's even got riggin changes to learn, along with the latest trends in drug stacking, ect.....unless he's set up at a nice farm where he can develop youngsters, ect.  It's a good gig then.

[The Exporter]

Proly licensing as an owner.

Jeez...the quick hitch wasn't even in use when he left.

We were using them in early 80's.  Delvin thought they were great so everybody started using them.  But you right, he's out of touch.

Dating back to the earliest times an antiquated system of attaching a horse to a sulky involved using a "thimble" placed over the shaft ends and then wrapping straps around the straight portion of the shaft had been in use. "Doc" knew there was a better way and above all a safer way. He set about transferring his idea from theory to reality and fashioned a prototype from machined parts secured from various sources. In 1980 he secured Canadian and U.S. patents on his new "Quick Hitch" which would eventually be called "Rondeau Quick Hitch". The name chosen was a reference to the area where he lived in Kent County.

His next step was to have endorsements to protect the patent. In the same Sulky article referred to earlier he also stated "I don't want to spend the rest of my life, and all of my resources fighting infringement." He quickly drew the attention and the backing of the sport's top people. Early in the endeavour he sought out the great U.S. horseman and innovator Delvin Miller, a man who had been often involved in effecting change. Doc recalled the words of Miller who at the end of their first meetings said "Doc, it's a good thing somebody's thinking..."

Miller not only gave his verbal blessing and approval of Doc's idea, he set a new world record with his own trotter Tarport Ramey -- equipped with the "Rondeau Quick-Hitch". For those who do not remember Delvin, he was not a person prone to idle chatter nor was he one who wasted time on unsound ideas.

Soon a number of other people influential in the sport subscribed to Gilbertson's new invention and Delvin Miller was named Chairman of the Board as the new Company was incorporated on Sept. 2, 1987. In an equally important move Mr. Harold Shipp, a Mississauga businessman and standardbred owner became Vice President and shared ownership of the new enterprise 50-50 with Gibertson. Fittingly his horses, trained by John Burns, all began to use the Quick-Hitch and he soon became an effective spokesman for the product. The name Shipp was not only synonymous with the finest in home construction, he also owned a stable of top notch harness horses.

After a number of slight modifications, the proof of the new idea soon grew. Top horsemen such as Bill Wellwood, Doug Hie and several others totalling 80 trainers became "converts". Not only Canadians were at the forefront, but U.S. horseman Mark O'Mara who decided to use the new hitch on Jate Lobell in the 1987 North America Cup as he felt it helped to negotiate the Greenwood turns. The decision proved to be a wise one as the O'Mara entry defeated Frugal Gourmet in a thrilling stretch drive, stopping the timer in 1:52.4.

Nice history lesson,much appreciated,going back to my Grand Circuit days u mentioned Tarport Ramey,I'm pretty sure Paul Holtzman rubbed him for Del,,Paul is still clicking the hitch and winning to this day.

Wasnt he involved with Chansky with the EPO

[The Exporter]

If he was, why would he ever get licensed again ?

[COUNSELOR]

TARPORT RAMEY WAS A NICE TROTTER!  HE HAD ONLY 1 EYE!   HE WAS RAISED AT DELVINS FARM IN MEADOWLANDS , PENNSYLVANIA!  HE HAD HIS EYE RIPPED OUT ON A BARBED FENCE.   FROM WHEN HE WAS BROKE AS A YEARLING HE ONLY HAD THE ONE EYE BUT IT NEVER SEEMED TO BOTHER HIM.   ONE OF DELVINS OWNERS, HUGH GRANT BRED HIM.   DELVIN HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS FOR MR. GRANT!
