If coming to Aiken next year, feel welcome to look me up. It would be nice to share the matinee with a fellow NY owner.
Tx for the invite, but I am out of the business, so Aiken is a long shot. PM me if you wish, maybe we can share some stories.
Btw, at Aiken, before the likes of Roger Huston got involved, I called a 5 horse matinee on their big day. Probably mid-90’s. All 5 were from my trainer’s stable, so it was easy to know the names, and there wasn’t much movement. I was able to say “ they’re coming out of the far turn, you can throw a blanket over them”. LOL.
