Been playing the trotters since 1968
There was never just one second difference between pacers and trotters.
I'd say anywhere between 3 2/5 to 4 seconds back in 70s with the good old wooden sulkys.
What I would like to know is why there is such a higher percentage of trot races now than back in 70s?
In 70s there were over 50 races a week carded per track and maybe you would see 8 trot races,
Nowadays about 35 races a week carded per track and about 15 are trot races.
Saw Loosh Sunday night at Pompano he looked in good shape.
