Yankee Paco: Canadians’ Career Changing Hambo

On the 25th Anniversary of becoming the first Canadian-sired winner of The Hambletonian, Yankee Paco can now also be called a Hall Of Famer.

They were happy to oblige, and to relive the story of the chestnut son of Balanced Image who changed their lives forever, a quarter-of-a-century ago. By Justin Fisher.
