Without a doubt that was the best drive I have ever seen John Campbell give a horse. If you studied this race like I did back then you can see that John was not only driving Lifesign but he was also driving Riyadh, by staying back beside Jack or only at Riyadh’s wheel. This got the 2 middle quarters the way he wanted them in 57.4 almost .58 then he started coming up toward last turn and it was a dash to the finish. That's the way I seen it, Anyone else and Lifesign does not beat Riyadh. Personally I feel John Campbell was the greatest driver ever. And that's saying something because there are some great drivers.

John Onda Walter Case Jr is the greatest harness racing history but problems off the Racetrack were his undoing. Walter can not comeback to who he use to be. Since 2003 he has only drove a few times at Plainridge then they would not let him drive. Just like any sport you do not want a great one to comeback only a shell of himself. Example ALI came back to fight Larry Holmes if anyone has seen it. It was very sad Holmes pummeled ALI but Holmes was begging the Referee to stop the fight. Walter could be The George Foreman of comebacks. Foreman was out of boxing 11 years Walter has been away since 2003.

Been to almost every Harness Track during my long life. I've heard them all since the 60's and while Roger Huston is by far the worst announcer in harness history, post below most be related to him to make such a comment about him, there is one announcer who stands alone for those who had the pleasure of listening to him, The Late Jack E. Lee stands alone as the greatest. Just a shame millions never got to hear him during the 60's, 70's and even 80's when there wasn't simulcasting. But anyone that goes back some years will tell you, "There was Jack E. Lee" then all the rest.

I met Jack once at the O T B in Glen Cove. I asked him what the double was going to be that night. He said "B B"(2,2). The 2 favorites- $6.00 double ! I don't play chalk. Anyway, I also said to him, Jack, you are the greatest race announcer since since Fred Capposella. He said to me, "Thank You, that's a very nice compliment" Sometimes I would call the "stretch call" just to hear him call a race !!! (it was a 976 number, 2121 was the result line, and there was one for the stretch. I think it was 976 7676. LONG LIVE JACK E. LEE

hobbles. Had there been any need for him to travel he' have been a sub1:47 horse on a mile track... without performance enhancing drugs. Your comment about ANZ sulkies is another retarded comment. Our drivers can use both the US & the ANZ style sulkies. Even Australian drivers that come back from the states quickly revert to using our sulkies. The US style sulkies were only changed because they were believed to be safer in a race fall. The claim that they are faster is unfounded.

Since the introduction of the mile track at Menangle the mile times have tapered down significantly. Again, this is not the focus for ANZ racing so no-one really cares.

Im Themightyquinn (AUD$4.2m / USD$107m with the current value of the USD). There are a couple of other factors that also speak to the difference in the mile record between the US & ANZ. 1. We generally don't have time trials - we leave timetrials to countries who believe running fast times & not winning races is important. 2. Drugs are illegal in ANZ. The same philosophy that allowed Lance Armstrong to get away with cheating in 7 TDF's pervades your racing industries. In ANZ we put the...
