[RC] Was Traveler, now standardbreds - David & Maggie

Beg pardon. The 'standard' was two and a half or three minutes back then, I think. Many of today's successful harness racers are just barely breaking 2 minutes. Back then, the equipment wasn't as balanced, nutrition wasn't as good, etc.
 
Maggie in Ohio
A that time a standardbred was any horse that could pace or trot a mile in the standard (two minutes).
