Somebeachsomewhere sets world record for 3 year olds of 1.47; Places!

Meadowlands Pace 2008

Art Official Wins An Incredible Horse Race

Somebeachsomewhere was cut off on the first turn and raced two wide and three wide from there to the three-quarter pole and set such blistering fractions (reaching the half in 51.4 and the three quarters in 1.19.1!) that it was all he could do to hold off Art Official until the final moment when the talented son of Art Major and grandson of Artsplace got half a head ahead at the wire, and Beach's lifetime victory streak was over. They were both timed in 1.47 flat with Share The Delight third in 1.48, the fourth through sixth horses (Mucho Sleazy, Sand Shooter, Tiz A Masterpiece) all were race-timed in 1.48.1 and the seven th horse Atochia was clocked at 1.48.4 meaning seven horses coming home in under 1.49. How far have we come from Niatross and Nihilator.

Beach is no longer an undefeated horse, but anyone who witnessed the effort knows that this race only adds to the legend, and he's likely to get a smoother trip next time out. Tonight he paced a long mile, perhaps an extra 30 to 40 yards or more, and also faced some mild interference early in the first turn, so by this performance it would seem he is capable of going in 1.46 flat.

Ponder how the records fall.

Billy Direct stuns the world in 1.55

Steady Star electrifies racing in 1.52

Niatross and his son Nihilator each go below 1.50 and flirt with 1.49

Can Beach be the first in 1.46?

Is Art Official still getting better?
