Does anyone remember going to Aurora Downs/ Washington Park in the Chicagoland area?
-
JOHN FRANK ARMY PAINTED THE ENTIER GRANDSTAND IN 2 DAYS
-
Sure do!
Great Times!
Repost this to the Nostalgia section and I will post some stories.
-
I use to love racing at Arlington always did good with my little stable
-
Pulled Doubleheaders at Aurora on Wednesday afternoons then went straight to BMP for the night card!! That was a haul in the middle of the winter in 1970 or 71!!!
-
PIG,you know better. JOHN FRANK ARMY and crew could have sprayed painted the whole joint in 4 hours.
I will say this though. Me early day,s not knowin anythin about racin. Me beast friend,JOHHNY OLSEN,who died at 29 from COLON CANCER,goes we got to head to AURORA DOWNS. HE did not no shit about racin. HE goes the guys at BAR got the FIX IN. WONDERFUL. So their 6 of us. I know nothin about bettin or ponied. The fuckin pony hits. Can't member what it paid. Do member we sitting in a dinin room. Member the parkin lot was gravel and most gravel gone at the rest was a MUD SHITHOLE. And they chargered maybe a dollar to park in that quagmire. Long time AGO. Somewhere I became a TB player. YOOUSE all member when me BUD passed at 29. His wife who my great friend decided to marry again. I get that happens but back in day I was more than a little upset. GOT ME ASS KICKED by former LOUSIVILLE LINEBACKER.
Anyhow. Went on after accusing the FUC of bein a degenerate gambler out of control. He bet PONIES,SPORTS, and cards. At that time me not gamble at all. Too bee continued.....
-
So,I ended up goin to VEGAS. Me BUD,s wife was RICH. He goes lets open a BEEF VILLA in town. I'm in for puttin up 20%. The whole operation turned out to be a DISATER. At time all CALIFORNIAAA trandplants new nuttin about CHICAGO STYLE GRUP. They ate ALPHALA SPROUTS. Only people that wanted CHICAGO STYLE were the CHICAGO MOP. We had the only fast food in VEGAS servin suc. Now me BUD was a big time gambler. For 2 yrars out thrir I never bet. BOBBY STOREY ,I had to track the fuc down. He had $20,000 lines at 10 different major casino,s. His wife would say to me. CAN YOU FIND the FUC. When I did he got money all over CRAP TABLE. And he winnin. I wouls say. YOUR up BIG. Take the SHIT down and walk away. He refused. And every time ended up losin and approximatly 5,000 more. He would come to register every day to clean out and gamble. .....TOO BE CONTINUED.....
-
MET a LOT of CORRUPT CHIGOGIANS in me time there. I'm not goin into that now. This about me startin to makin wagers. So.s I return home. Blew off me investment. Could care less. Me young. Never talked to STOREY ever again. The whole operation folfed about 16 months later. But when I came home to ILLINOIS ,I for some reason went: I think you can WIN ,BETTIN. I went and read every book there be. BOY,DID I LEARN. Let me say this though. One makes his own decision when it comes to placin a wager and puttin that money forth. TOO BEE CONTINUED.....

He goes: SO,YOU sayin our product SUCKS. I say,s you got that right. He goes: GET the fuc out of here. That was good. I got to cross MISSISSIPPI and went to that crazy STANDARD track.

I was at Washington Park once, in 1976. The track burned down the following year.

I have viewed these pictures many times and it still evokes memories of the first time I attended the races there in 1968. The photo of Rum Customer is entertaining because the other horse in that phot was trained by Ira Smolin.

THE OTHER HORSE IN THE PHOTO WAS GHANDI AND PHIL MILBURN OWNED AND TRAINED HIM AS A BABY. LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD IRA SMOLIN CLIAMED HIM FROM MILBURN AND ATE THAT HORSE. HE WON MAYBE ONE RACE WITH HIM. BUT MILBURN HAD GHANDI AND A POWERFUL STABLE AT THAT TIME INCLUDING HAIL TO ALL.

Speaking of Hail to All, like Ghandi, he lost a nose photo to a big name star. Albatross beat him at Maywood in a quagmire. I think the race went in 2:07 and a piece. Many who saw the race live (including me) still believe Hail to All won. The photo was not posted that night.

I went to Aurora and Washington many times. Loved both tracks. To this day I still carry a losing win ticket in my wallet from Aurora Downs dated February 13, 1970. My favorite trotter ( Bold Over - Bobby Burnett) lost. It was my last night of freedom as I got married the next day (Valentine's Day).
