>>There was one French trotter, Ideal Du Gazeau, which was complained about
as
not trotting during the acceleration phases of his races. He'd reach up and
under so far that occasionally a forefoot would cycle through without
touching the ground.

Saw it!!! Not that horse, but back in 1977 I was at Vernon Downs and there
was some famous trotter who blew me away..He started badly and seemed to
"claw the air" on his way up to the front..hardly ever touching the ground
with his front end...I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't SEEN it.... he
won the race.
