niatross - simply the best 'pacing horse' ever

Perfection, you catch glimpses of it in sports - a golfer scoring a hole-in-one, a pitcher tossing a perfect game or a goalie shutting out the opposition in hockey.

Whether it is the focus of a Tiger Woods, the competitiveness of a Michael Jordan or the creativity of a Wayne Gretzky - sport is drama and when players or competitors of this ilk are involved it is usually exciting and often breathtaking.

Niatross possessed the above-mentioned traits which complemented his charisma, grace and class - Niatross was perfection in a racehorse.

Niatross thrilled harness racing fans as he stormed across North America in 1979 and 1980 smashing world, stakes and track records wherever he ventured and leaving a legacy in our sport which has not been approached since.

These pages are my tribute to that legacy.
