   "[John] Campbell stalked me with Chairmanoftheboard. Within three steps he was by Falcon, but in two steps Falcon was back by him.

   Falcon Seelster had not even been cooled out from his effort when that future came knocking in the form of a paddock phone call from John Cashman of Castleton Farm.
   ...
   Cashman and Castleton Farm were now in control of the world's fastest half-mile-track pacer, and Harmer and his family headed off on vacation to the Florida Keys.
   ...
   "He was a beautiful-looking horse who put out beautiful yearlings, but he was a funny horse," said Cashman.
   ...
   It was, coincidentally enough, John Cashman who was responsible for Falcon Seelster's richest foal, as it was he who decided to breed the mare Lilting Laughter to the stallion, and later sold the mare in foal to Perretti.

   "He organized his barn and kept training reports on every horse," said John Cashman, former president of Pompano Park and Castleton Farm in Lexington, Ky. "He'd be up sometimes in the winter at 2 or 3 in the morning plowing snow off the track ,at his farm in New Egypt, so he could train that morning."
   
   And anyone who stopped by his barn was treated with respect. One morning, he sat in his barn office at Pompano eagerly showing videotape of himself on Ed Sullivan, driving a pacer in a match race against the Batmobile and riding elephants with Haughton. He also enthusiastically agreed in 1989 to drive to Belmont Park to spend 30 minutes talking about horse racing with thoroughbred racing Hall of Fame trainer Woody Stephens for a story to appear in this publication. The 30 minutes turned into two hours with both men laughing and exchanging stories.
   
   Dancer was slowed in later years by back pain from injuries he sustained early in his career.
