O'brien was amazing. Did you know his stepson Stan?

Bayless ran a tight ship and always had a meticulous barn -- every year a beautiful display right by the stable gate and the parking lot at Los Alamitos. He could train and drive one too.

I used to talk to Mike Gagliardi about his Cali days. He told me Stan was a very underated driver.

Gags had such talent. Too much gambling and then fucking cancer gets him so young. HOF talent.

Yep he's dead. I was stabled in the same barn as Gags the first year the Meadowlands opened. Me and another guy had six horses for an absentee trainer. I would hang around after the noon feed pretending to clean equipment just to see the parade of Caddys and Lincolns pull up. I believe Gag's sister was married to a captain in one of the families. She ended up in witness protection and if memory serves me correct so did Gags -- at least that's what I was told years later. Very nice friendly guy -- let me use his big bike for a wide gaited trotter.

He came out of witness protection before he died and walked rt into the paddock at Freehold one day. His brother n law , if you followed the trial beat a guy to death in the garage at their farm in NJ . Mike G was one of the best at getting the money and never went back on his word.

LIke the Rabbit said he came out of protection and passed away within a year from cancer. Guess he felt like his safety didnt matter once he was dying anyway. I knew nothing about the incident with his brother.

Happy to see my memory still functions. After a month or two he asked me to run an occasional bet -- worked out fine. Thanks for the update Rabbit.

I thought this was a topic about It's my show ???

I have seen a lot of Plop topics go off the rails, usually someone accusing another of living in mom's basement betting $2 and blowing a guy.......

But reading the responses, how did we get to talking about Liberty Bell Park handle ?   73cv.2
