    I own Black Cat Bone - during that race i almost threw up i was so nervous - i bought him when he was 4- he was a great horse- He is to old to race now - he is now a riding horse

      God bless you for keeping cat in semi retirement! So many race horses end up in the slaughterhouse.

    I have always been interested in harness horses. I live down south so I do not get much exposure. I have ridden and owned many horses.
    This driver bringing this horse and bike in safely is one of the most honorable things I have ever seen on TH-cam.

    I remember Tony when he was first starting out at the Quad City Downs. Class act, and I wasn't surprised to see his name attached to bringing a horse back

    My first horse was an ex/pacer, one of the best horses I have ever owned. Great temperament and so quiet. Great for me, when I was just starting out. Plus the fact he could keep up with my friends horses at a canter, and he was only pacing! Awesome horse! Never forget him.

      My last horse was a Trotter. One of the best horses I ever had too! Sure wish I knew about Standardbreds earlier in my riding life. I'll never forget that horse either.

    tony wasnt getting money any way and cught the horse in open field. i was driving southern freight at pocono years ago, and billy mullin hollered up he broke both lines,he was sitting 4th and i was 3rd horses all around us. to avoid an accident i reached back held his horse save, and finished 3rd in the race for almost 1/2 a mile, the crowd gave me a standing novation, the judges gave me a suspension. Billy yelled at teh starting judge said i saved him from getting hurt bad!

    Tony Morgan is good people. I knew him back at Louisville Downs when he was just a kid. Doc and Wheeler and Mugsie and Papa Go G and Carrie Nation and Herb. The announcer referred to his dad as 'Steady Eddie Morgan'. No surprise that Tony turned out as well as he did.

    nice of him to care about the other horse enough to keep it out of the way of the others

    It's not until very late that we see the 5th (last) place driver, who is holding the driverless horse's bridle while continuing to drive with his own horse.

    omg thats a true act of kindness that was a great thing for him to do!!

  • @ftechone
    @ftechone 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thats why they call him "Tough Tony"!
    I remember back in the early 80's at Freehold when Jack Moiseyev broke a line on his horse and climbed on the back of the horse to pull him up, you could see Jack holding on to the horses head while on his back in one of the finish photos!!

  • @daschuck77
    @daschuck77 17 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Right! The whip rarely strikes the horse...usually the number pad or the shaft of the sulky is the sound you hear from the whip.

  • @baseballeddie1177
    @baseballeddie1177 14 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @Horseloverkooder yes, its considered in a sense a "super horse" or a "monster horse " because it is so durable and tough. A standardbred can be in a horrible accident and land awkard,take a hard fall and race the next week as scheduled; they can race 2 or 3 times in one day as well as 55 times in a year

    Black Cat Bone did not die in this race if I remember correctly. Black Cat Bone normally raced in Delaware not Yonkers. RIP Black Cat Bone. Run free

    I've seen a race in Sweden where the same thing occured, Driver Åke Svanstedt picked up a horse about a 100 meters from finnish.
    That was really nice!

    Bravo Tony Morgan. Madkukkii is correct to say this might have been really bad. Having been down in a wreck I can say it all happens so fast that it was an angel that enabled him to have the presence of mind to grab the loose one.

    Morgan was the man at Maywood on their half mile track in Chicago. He won me a boatload of money, as i bet on him all the time, I miss Maywood and Balmoral i loved betting those tracks. Lots of good memories.

    @Zach1949 Actually it's the standard time itself that lends itself to the standard-bred name. The standard time that a horse runs for a mile.

    whipping them, thats abuse!

    • @watchgoose
      @watchgoose 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      they only hit the shafts of the bike. hitting the horse might cause him to break and then you have to pull them back, losing ground.

    • @SilverScaleMA
      @SilverScaleMA 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      tom slick The whips never actually hit the horse they are snapping whips, either making noise on the shafts or over the back. The horses are trained to pick up pace when they hear the sound. It is the same with most other harness horses and is definitely better then shacking the reins.

    On the old track Lindenoord of Wolvega (Nld) did (many years ago) Jan Wagenaar the same. He took the other horse bij the lead on a very quiet way.

    Can you imagine posting to their trot. Holy crap.

    • @caliokiegirl
      @caliokiegirl 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Actually, their trot is quite smooth. I owned an ex-racer, and I would race my sister's horse, who had to gallop to keep up with my gelding's trot. Great horses.

    Pacers were part of the makeup OF TWH in the earlier stages of their breeding. Ditto for ASb which gives them the ability to do a lateral gait.

      @charleslockhart6778 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tony Morgan is still racing on the East coast circuit, sometimes I’ll see him at Harrington, Dover Downs, or the Meadows. One or the winningest harness drivers in history with over 16,000 wins. I recall Tony racing at Balmoral Park in the 80’s where he dominated the driving ranks, regularly winning 5 or 6 races a night.

      Horse was pacing at his speed so he was able to control it throughout
