The biggest thing about this trip is that he came home in 25:1 which is a fraction you rarely see and almost always in the first quarter.. and he was parked for the first quarter from the 7 hole in 26:0 ... just a BEAST performance
You are correct Troy. 25 1/5 on a non-rated engine...unbelievable. I have seen many of the great pacers of all time race at the MentalLands. Sulkies, surfaces, equipment, training and racing strategies have changed significantly over the decades. I saw Niatross dominate, I saw Always B. Miki dominate. And now I have seen Bulldog Hanover dominate. What makes this race so special is the fact that he took wind to a half in 53 and a fifth, I laugh at his Q3 "breather" being 27 2/5...but 25 and a fifth home???? That is insane even off a slow pace with a perfect trip. So...I used to think, all things being equal, Niatross would edge out "The Mick" for the greatest Pacer of all time...but after this race...Gotta give it to the Bulldog. Rushed up to lead at 1-5....drew away in 1:45 and 4/5. Now I think that mark will stand forever. But, I have thought that many times before. If you are a true harness fan and a Meadowlands history buff, watch some of those ancient vids from the late 70s, 80s and 90s. One way to do generational comparisons is to see how they dominated the competition of their era. When you watch horses like Somewheresomebeach, Mack Lobell, Nihalator, Nihatross...or even Whata Baron, one of the first great Engine horses that could draw away in the stretch. Check them out. 1:45 4/5 is just a crazy time that I would have NEVER believed could be clocked. 30 years ago.
@@davidmcgovern7663 Still thinking Niatross is the greatest. Faster times through the ages is only natural. Niatross had the most heart imo. Nia and Clint went over the hubrail at Saratoga and came back unscathed. Bulldog is still fun to watch though.
July 7th I told my buddy he's going to break the world record shortly after he went 1:46. This horse is 🔥. & May go even faster . I would love to see him at the red mile
He could go 45 flat, maybe even go 1:44.3 on the red clay in Lexi. With Dexter in the sulky, and identical weather conditions, that is not out of the question considering BH is peaking at the right time.
@@xfactor4598 hopefully he races there and I'm able to witness it in person. I always heard the Red mile is the fastest track , & for him to race in under 47 like 3-4 times in a row, he definitely has the right driver & the right peak timing
@@2doorLoudG The red mile is by far the best facility in harness racing.The building is first class and the track is always in perfect condition.If you get the chance you should go. Best of luck.
@@xeno246 Sorry I strongly disagree! The Greatest Pacer ever is Somebeachsomewhere! Bulldog Hanover didn't do what The Beach did at 2 and 3 years old. Somebeachsomewhere lost one race in his whole career. He lost by a nose in a world record at that time. The Meadowlands was not as fast in 2008 as it is in 2022. The track is much faster q the turns are banked. The Meadowlands is more suited now for front end speed. It's just not Bulldog Hanover going faster. Lots of horses are going faster. We're seeing so many trotters going sub 1:50 more than ever. Pacers going in 1:49 is nothing anymore. Racebikes are better than what Somebeachsomewhere pulled. Meadowlands is much harder now and adding banking to the turns has increased speed. Somebeachsomewhere never raced at 4.. Besides on the racetrack Somebeachsomewhere kicked ass as a stallion he has 15 or more of his sons standing at Stud.
@@matthewmauran9453 you make excellent points and I can't really disagree with anything you said, Beach was out of this world. If he had of remained unbeaten I would agree with you even though his first half mile was so fast it was almost impossible for Beach to win that race. Comparing horses from different eras is never easy, so many different variables. For me Bulldog is the best for running those times 4 weeks in a row.
If someone sets the pace this horse can go 1.45 100%. He shot from 7 hole and cut his own mile. He is a monster and thank god Jody was not driving him it would be a different story. Dexter is a great driver.
@@parkerbohnn you called this. You were high on bulldog since his debut. I didn't think he'd be as good as he is now wow. It's weird Canadian thoroughbred horses don't do good in America but standardbred they run great wow
Followed that horse a year ago when he raced at woodbine/,mohawk with Jody Jamison and i ALWAYS told fellow Handicappers this horse has a ton of class!!! Well done!
He was always the horse no one wanted to bet. For some strange reason he always drew an outside post and no one bet him back when he was a two year old.
I followed him since his maiden race and picked him to win the North America Cup after his third race as a two year old. It's all in the comments on Woodbine Replays.
Jack Darling also owns a half sister to Bulldog Hanover named Buttercup Hanover. She's two and has yet to race. Buttercup Hanover, F, Betting Line - BJs Squall
All he needed was a driver and after all this time he finally got one. How Jody Jamieson ever got hooked up with Jack Darling to drive Bulldog Hanover I don't even want to know. Randy Waples was the original driver of Bulldog Hanover when he was a two year old. Jack knew his father Carl. Jody Jamieson is a bum.
@@parkerbohnn I wouldn't call him a bum. He's had a pretty good career. Maybe Dexter is just a better fit and has better hands. If I was Darling I'd keep Dunn on the rest of the season.
@@wuhan10 His father Carl wasn't much of a driver but Jody is better than his father but should never be driving a horse the caliber of Bulldog Hanover. Jody's driving statistics seem to get worse with each passing year.
@@parkerbohnn you are the toxicity the sport doesn’t need. I’ve seen you in every reply talking sh*t about another grown man. Give it a rest, the hate is real towards Jody aye? Blows my mind how a grown man sitting from the sidelines can sit and bash another grown man. Nobody is perfect but one thing is for sure losers only focus their attention on others instead of fixing their own problems. Bulldog Hanover raced his ass off, take your toxicity elsewhere bud.
Not to take anything away from the top two, especially the winner who had done a ton of work and is clearly one of the best in this sport, but did you see the horse with the yellow wheels, possibly called "Buck a bet Hanover" man I wonder what his time was for that last quarter , he was flying may have got up for third and he drew the outside of the gate.
@@TheJf04 Shezzz that's humming! Just to be clear I think the winner is a champion and deserves all credit and will probably break the 1:45 mark one day soon!
It’s a shame they ruin the big M because this used to be the destination for all harness racing’s best ! Best Horses, best drivers, best fans and so on, now it might be between 5-10 best tracks !!
you gotta love ken warkentin... a truly passionate announcer who makes this race even better, gave me chills at the end
He really is the best in the game, awesome announcer.
The Trevor Denman of harness racing! Years back his calls for Mr. Muscles!!
Best race caller in the world!
What's really amazing is the stamina! Three races in a row at an average of 1:46 a race. Unbelievable!
I never in my life time thought that was possible! My dad would have loved to see that, miss you dad ✌️❤️

@@parkerbohnn drives like a dishwasher last 2 years.
Jody couldn't drive a mini van
Amazing. As a kiwi, great to see harness racing history and Dexter fulfilling his great potential.
You're right about Dexter Dunn. If Jody Jamieson was driving Bulldog Hanover he'd be one of the longshots and probably finish dead last.
Very lucky he left before charged in NZ for race fixing
Dexter is the Roman Polanski of harness racing!
@@SirLangsalot sure is and he's never ever been back since not even to see his kids with two different girls that's what sort boy he is
I didn't know that, but then, thats the whole idea?
Makes me sad that Sam McKee isn’t around to call this horse
He was my favorite race caller.
Wow great to see harness history congrats bulldog and Dexter,
I wish Jody Jamieson had of been there to watch Dexter drive the Bulldog and break the world record. Jamieson is a bum.

I think he can go even faster.

(That :27.2 third quarter was a breather for him, right now.) 😅
It was 😀

That was an amazing mile
Amazing mile
Still blows my f in mind 🤯
Need to chase Bridge Jumpers...like the Armbro Beam days. better shot @ Spa, but everyone realizes that.
what a machine
Congrats bulldog
