I was very happy about that decision (not to go to the Maple Leaf Trot). It worked out good. You can’t ask him to go everywhere; he’s 10 years old. Canada was an easy decision to leave out. “Arch is pretty much the same as he’s been previous years,” added Smedshammer, who trains the horse for owners Marc Goldberg and Willow Pond LLC. “It doesn’t seem like he’s lost much, it’s just the competition is tougher. It’s been brutally tough, especially (Sebastian K). “I haven’t been too worried about it because later in the year when the others seem to be getting tired, he usually gets better,” Smedshammer added.
