  • The March of Dimes Trot was a Standardbredtrotting race that took place at Garden State Park Racetrack in New Jersey on November 17, 1988. It is considered one of the most legendary races in trotting history. The race was connected with March of Dimes charity foundation. The idea of the race was a duel between American world-record-breaker Mack Lobell, who had just been sold to Sweden, and the famous French trotter Ourasi. Both horses had been racing in Europe but they had never met. The one-mile race also featured eight other horses from Europe and North America. Three of the European participants (Napoletano, Sugarcane Hanover and Friendly Face) were American-bred. The race evoked great interest in Europe. More than 70 reporters had flown to cover the race. A four-hour television coverage was sent to France and the race was also broadcast in Sweden. Surprisingly only a crowd of 8,000 people showed up at the racetrack. Hundreds of them were from Europe. Winner of the March of Dimes Trot was an American expatriate who was trained in Norway. Ourasi finished second and Mack Lobell who took the lead was third. (en)
  • March of Dimes Trot var ett travlopp som kördes på Garden State Park Racetrack i New Jersey den 17 november 1988. Det anses vara ett av de mest legendariska travloppen som körts. Loppet var kopplat till välgörenhetsorganisationen March of Dimes. Tanken med loppet var en duell mellan den amerikanska världsrekordhållaren Mack Lobell, som just sålts till Sverige och den berömda franska travaren Ourasi. Båda hästarna hade tävlat i Europa men aldrig mötts. I loppet deltog även åtta åtta andra hästar från Europa och Nordamerika. Tre av de europeiska deltagarna (Napoletano, Sugarcane Hanover och Friendly Face) var uppfödda i USA. Loppet väckte stort intresse i Europa, och mer än 70 journalister flög till USA för att rapportera loppet. En fyra timmars TV-sändning skickades till Frankrike och loppet sändes också i Sverige. Trots det stora intresset för loppet var bara 8 000 åskådare på plats på tävlingsbanan, varav hundratals av dem var från Europa. Segraren i loppet blev den norsktränade Sugarcane Hanover, följt av franske Ourasi och Mack Lobell. (sv)
