Vivid Photo’s three-year-old year finished out with a win in the World Trotting , in which he took his record of 1:51.2, and over $1.4-million in earnings. This gelding has been a strong force in the aged trotting events, making over $600,000 so far in 2006 and taking a record on the one-turn Colonial Downs track of 1:50.2. Vivid Photo’s most recent win came in the 1 1/4 mile $250,000 Trotting Classic at Dover Downs. With over $2.1-million in lifetime earnings, Vivid Photo has be- come a fan favorite as he travels to tracks around the country and Can- ada. We can only guess what this horse will accomplish in the future for his owners, Hammer and Todd Schadel, both of .
