Good trainer, nice man, did very well.

Had a good run in Michigan until racing shut down and made a good move to go East.

Long ago as a newbie to the Michigan circuit I was driving a 10-1 shot and put him on the front. Mike came 1st over and stalled, and I won the race. After the wire he pulled along side and said "Just so you know, we let you win!"💯 73cv.2 Enjoy the rest of your life Mike!
