The career of harness racing champion My Field Marshal (
Art Major) has come to an end, with a catalogue of achievements that are as much a testament to the raw speed and ability of the horse as they are to the skills and persistence of his trainer Tim Butt.
Connections made the decision recently to call time on the eight-year-old stallion s illustrious career, which, in raw numbers reads: 76 starts for 29 wins and 25 placings for $1,493,180 in stakes.
Among My Field Marshal s achievements was an astonishing 2018 Miracle Mile victory that would be etched in the memory of every harness racing fan who witnessed it - storming to victory from last in a 1.46.9 mile, placing him in the top mile runs in history and clearly an Australasian record.
