She won't run in the Hambo, it's for trotters. What a filly, she's amazing..

Another nice article about See You At Peelers, this one from Bill Finley's column on ESPN.com.
Keeping pace with racing's true star

"With Zenyatta gone, Uncle Mo sidelined and with the current crop of healthy 3-year-olds getting widely panned by the critics, racing fans have been looking for the next big thing. It's been a difficult hunt so far, and there's not much on the menu to get excited about, at least until the Breeders' Cup. Frustrated? You might want to consider harness racing.
The best horse in the country is not Animal Kingdom, Shackleford or Twirling Candy but a 3-year-old filly pacer named See You At Peelers. Unbeaten in 18 career starts, she is drawing comparisons to the best female standardbreds of all time and even Zenyatta..........."

What is it about single-toed ungulates running around an oval for approximately 90 seconds that inspires people to bet billions of dollars and devote their entire lives to the activity?

I know...when I purchased another Dan Patch biography...the Great Dan Patch and the Remarkable Mr. Savage..came with a DVD of him racing. It was incredible.
Dan is one of my favorite horses of all time...

I wish they would option the book for a movie...his story is similar to Seabiscuit's ...but I actually found it much more dramatic...

Any chance See You heads to the Cane Pace that any has heard...after all Freehold is just around the corner from Mr. Takter's farm...I drive by it all the time...![]()

She'll be an interesting filly to watch. Personally, I'm not sold. The boys she beat in the Rooney were not close to what she'd face in the Jug. I'm not wild about the way she holds her head and drifts out some in the turns. Not saying she's sore but it's not efficient. I do hope I'm wrong though and root her on! But the Jug is a LONG way off yet (September) and there is a LOT of racing to be had until then. Takter (her trainer) thinks she's better on the half mile tracks than mile tracks...guess we'll have to wait and see!
I'm just finishing up "Crazy Good". The mare in my avatar actually sports old Dan in her 9th generation!
I don't think we've seen the best of Peelers, and the best might come after a loss...The entries of 2-3 horses might be the only thing that beats her. On the other hand the sport has a Superstar it so badly needs so maybe officials will remind the Drivers to keep it fare...If she gets to 23 or so and is running against the boys, I think she'll have crossover fans from all of horseracing....She does run in at times and that could be a sign of a sore foot, but she demolished that Fan field..
1st again this week in the latest Hambletonian Poll.....
Ah, as an aside, does anybody remember Moni Maker? I love her! I used to remember seeing her races on TV. Has any standardbred broken her money earnings yet?
