Det bliver fantastisk spændende at få lejlighed til at møde Dr. Paul F. Spears fra Hanover Shoe Farms, USA's største og mest berømte stutteri med avlshingste som Andover Hall, Cantab Hall, SJ's Caviar, Donerail og Donato Hanover, årets Hambletonian-favorit.

At være forelæser sammen med Paul Spears i 4 dage forekommer både uvirkeligt og frygtindgydende, men det er en uovertruffen mulighed for at få kontakter til den absolutte top i amerikansk travavl. Jeg glæder mig helt vildt.
