After receiving a photo of a horse dressed up for St. Patrick's Day, Trot Insider found a shot of a pacer whose connections took it to a whole new level.

The first photo came from Kristyn Phillips of Saint John, N.B. She sent in this photo of Cecils Express ready to celebrate.

On Tuesday night, Auto Pilot did one better by going to post with a green tail and shamrocks painted onto his grey coat. The 12-year-old grey gelding and driver Aaron Merriman then won at 6-1 odds. It was the 30th lifetime win for the Jet Laag gelding, trained by Mark Sundstrom and owned by Ted and Patricia Schuss of Elyria, Ohio.
