I'm the modern day Nostradamus of standardbreds. I was the only person on planet earth to tell the world about Bulldog Hanover and the greatness to come after his very first race as a 2 year old right on Woodbine replays. He was a $28,000 yearling. I picked him out of 2,200 yearlings to rule the world of harness racing. I also told the world about Sylvia Hanover being a world champion at age 2 and age 3 after her very first race.😁
In all fairness New Zealand did produce a pacer who went on to be the dam of the world Champion Genghis Khan who ruled the Meadowlands in the late 1970's. Robin Dundee was bred to Meadow Skipper to produce the world champion Genghis Khan.
TROTTING Now when one mentions a true champion today 2021 - MENTION THIS ANIMAL 'CARDIGAN BAY', Beautiful in stature & gracious on the field. Watch his history & know how much he won & how well he performed. Beautiful animal to watch A Harness Racer in stride. Thank you for letting me remember this amazing animal & Rider Wolfenden.
Mission Brief was a true world champion whose two year old world record of 1:50.3 October 2nd at The Red Mile could stand for 50 years or more and she did it at the start of October not in December. Mission Brief was a true world champion with speed only comparable to Dan Patch at the turn of the century.
Another pig of a horse from New Zealand like Steel Wool. All talk until they travel to America and get trounced by even the claiming pacers in America.
Pulled off a huge upset in the race of the century against the great Bret Hanover who would have beaten him soundly 99 times out of 100. This was the one time out of one hundred.
Bret Hanover could even make World Champion legends out of pigs like Farm Norah to produce Fan Hanover. But what happens when you bred a top notch filly like Chin Chin to Bret Hanover? You end up with Somebeachsomewhere. No one has ever heard of Cardigan Bay producing anything.
Kind of hard to produce anything when you haven’t got any nuts .It’s kind of like when people have few or any brain cells they struggle to produce comments that make any sense .
@@parkerbohnn Cardigan Bay was a gelding. Neutered animals can't reproduce. One of the greatest trotters of all time, Greyhound, was also a gelding. The horse Onion, who beat Secretariat once, was also a gelding. (Jan Griffiths).
@@douglasgriffiths3534 That's what I mean he didn't produce anything. We heard all the hype some horse that beat New Zealand horses. Well New Zealand horses are one step off the glue factory.
Some champion he ducked the great Bret Hanover in a match race. The owner came up with every excuse under the sun except the real one which is the horse doesn't even belong on the same racetrack as the great Bret Hanover.
Is this a joke? The horse never raced against the best pacers in the world in America and then when he finally did he was lucky to even hit the board on the show ticket. At the time Bret Hanover was the world champion and great sire.
Are you on drugs son? Please seek psychiatric help asap. 🙏 . Remember, the American Champs had their chance to come down under. Also note, those Champs didn't hold world records. He had an op on his leg when he had broken a stiffle. When meeting Brett Hanover he was 11, bh was 4yrs, and gave him a hiding. So only one can guess, your meds are not up to date, or you are on Crack.

@@Souljah2008 Cardigan Bay would have been destroyed by Bret Hanover in a match race. The two never raced against each other in a match race. A match race only involves 2 horses. Like I said before Cardigan Bay might beat Bret Hanover one in a hundred times on a half mile oval with a short stretch. On a one mile track Bret Hanover would open up about ten lengths on Cardigan bay.
@@Souljah2008 Yeah sure and Cardigan Bay went on to produce nothing while all the Bret Hanover mares produced million dollar horses as far back as the 1970's.
Pulled off a huge upset in the race of the century against the great Bret Hanover who would have beaten him soundly 99 times out of 100. This was the one time out of one hundred.
How old were they respectively? Bret Hanover wouldn't have got near Cardigan Bay when he was a four year old. He was drawing a pension when he beat him fair and square. Bret Hanover had the drop on him and couldn't get near him.
@@marka1142 Bret Hanover would have demolished Cardigan Bay at any age. Just like the match race between Bunny Lake and Worldly Beauty but of course team Cardigan Bay had a yellow streak up their back and would never agree to a match race with the great Bret Hanover.
@@Souljah2008 Probably they were paid-off to thrown the race so they didn't embarrass Cardigan Bay. I know the owners of Cardigan Bay would never agree to a match race with Bret Hanover.
I've only heard his name, know nothing. Thank you so much for posting this wonderful footage.
His name is Bret Hanover, world champion.
Wonderful horse who had amazing courage .
Cardy to this day
The king❤

AN AWESOME CHAMPION!!!
They must have gotten dizzy going around that small South Australian track
Standardbred equal of Phar Lap. Both awesome geldings.
You mean Fart Lap.
Also pacing equal to Greyhound, a trotting legend. Also a gelding. And don't forget Funny Cide (TB). (Jan Griffiths).
@@Souljah2008 Old Fart Slap?
@@Souljah2008 Suckretariat
Cardigan Bay might have been comparable to Albatross but never really raced against the best horses.
saw him at the 1964 inter dom off 48 yds impossible handicap best pacer ever

Is that Hutt Park in the first shot?
A True Champion.
Some champion he stayed in New Zealand instead of racing against the best in the world.
Some champion he ducked the great Bret Hanover in a match race. The owner came up with every excuse under the sun except the real one which is the horse doesn't even belong on the same racetrack as the great Bret Hanover.
Tough as teak
👍🏆🏆👍
Now they are building a car park over his grave those greedy money hungry bastards.
The tracks in those days were terrible and created many accidents

He was 10 years old!!!!!! He beat A grade pacers off 24+ yards on a 2 and 3/4 furlong track......best pacer ever

@@Souljah2008 Hands down Bret Hanover was the faster of the two and much better bred.
@@Souljah2008 Cardigan Bay lifetime best time 1:56.1 and Bret Hanover lifetime best time 153.3. That's 13 lengths difference.

Can't believe his grave has been desecrated. Disgrace
