Somebeachsomewhere - Fastest Harness Horse Ever?

Considering that Beach raced against the best in the world and was only beaten once (by a rough trip), he is certainly a candidate for the best pacer ever. Here are some of the many online articles and web tributes:

Somebeachsomewhere Best 6 Racelines, fastest harness horse ever:


27 September 2008 Red Mile Bluegrass $134 000 1/7H 1:46.4 27.2

World record mark, fastest time ever over any track by a 3 year old.



19 July 2008 Meadowlands M Pace F $1 100 000 2/NK 1:47.0 27.4

Tied for 2nd fastest race time ever (at the time, fastest ever) by a 3 year old with race winner Art Official. His over-long trip probably added three lengths or more to the journey, so this was one of if not the very best race of Beach's career. Ironic that it's considered his only "loss", when he set a world record and gave the greatest performance I've ever witnessed in harness racing.



4 October 2008 Red Mile Tattersalls $293 000 1/3H 1:47.4 26.2

Tied Stakes record with world record 3rd time under 1.48. One week after setting 3 year old world record.



29 November 2008 Meadowlands BC Final $500 000 1 1:48.3 26.3

Stakes Record (shattering the previous record by 1 1/5 seconds!) Breeders Crown 2008 Championship win by 1 3/4 lengths over Shadow Play capped a brilliant career record of 20 wins and one 2nd in 21 lifetime starts. 3 Year Old (All Ages??) World record FIFTH RACE in 1.48.3 or faster, and world record EIGHTH TIME in 1.49.0 or faster!!!



17 August 2008 Flamboro Confed F $493 000 1/4 1:49.2 26.3

2nd heat and same-day final Beach sets world record on half mile track of 1.49.2 over 4 turns!!!



1 September 2007 Mohawk D-Metro $1 000 000 1/2 1:49.3 27.4

In the Metro Pace final last year Somebeachsomewhere set a 2 year old pacing world record of 1.49.3, setting the stage for 2008's world-beating performance.
