Exactly how much cash did Lachance try to smuggle over the border?--How was this resolved?Thanks for the memory of Pan Am Sam--i would go to Garden St Park and watch the simulcast from M1--Sam was one of my faves back in those days. This was before ADWs and national simulcasting--mid 80s i would say.
Q1: Don't know. Q2: Don't know.Pan An Sam was a nice horse, who unfortunately got to be well known because of that infamous race at Yonkers. The horse was for sale and was sold shortly after the race where seven drivers -- Jay Randall, Rene Poulin, Jim Marohn, Bill Bresnahan, Joe Marsh Jr., Mike Lachance, and of course, Henri Fillion -- were suspended. The triple came back very low and about 100 grand in tickets were cashed at various OTB's throughout NYC and LI.
Uhhh, Anthony Morgan, Herve all time of course. Lachance would cash some nice tickets. He got caught coming back into US from Canada with a briefcase with $95k in it...too funny.
No offense, respectively, and not sure if you know about this personally or simply heard ---- however the charges brought against Lachance were not for getting caught coming back into the US, and he did not have $95,000. I am not instigating or being combative, however, perhaps you know about an incident that nobody else does, wasn't published, or something of the like.
Mrpick5 everything you said is true. Schnittker paid a lot of drivers to stay out of the way.
