here's my favourite Harness Racer "village kid" in action in the coverted "miracle mile" race many years ago...
his race record was something like 160 races, 90 something wins and 40 odd other 2nd and 3rd finishes, and he was still winning group-1 races when he retired at age 16....sadly he died the other week at the ripe old age of 31!!!!!
theres two minutes of crap before the race, Village Kid is the horse closest to the barrier(#1), leads the whole way from start to finish...!
