Race 1 p5 2/134/2/13/68
It will be interesting watching Tom Merton race 1 on odds on favorite #2. Very untrustworthy on big chalk. But this horse looks pretty unbeatable.

good luck.
bello, not long ago you called out people for posting picks - just numbers - without some supporting narrative.
How did that come to seem to no longer matter?

Good Luck Bello! Last year at this time, I was there for these NYSS races. Maybe 50 people were there. A lot more than there even smaller usual daily crowd. But the racing was fun to watch. I'll be watching today online.

During it's "Hey Day", it was a great track. Great weekend crowds with bungalow colonies and hotels rocking! Great places to eat in Monticello and the surrounding towns. Sadly, a shell of what it once was. Grandstand closed. A hotdog cart serving the very small crowd. And truly uncomfortable metal seats past the finish line. I have family and friends still living there. So we go and visit a few times over the summer.

Looks to me like the connections of the 8 in race 5 pounded that numper which is what the do.
Just Fingers the rest of the way

I loved their doubleheaders.
If I would lose early I would go to Leftys for a great burger or steak sandwich . BTW Lefty Hezogs son Andrew represented the majority of the handle at Monti, likely still does. I I won the early card there was a steakhouse, maybe called the Hillside but not sure, where I would go between cards,

At POCONO race 4 something to keep your eye on is the 7-5 exacta. It was pounded and is very illogical numper on paper. Lets see i9f they bring it home

I knew both Lefty and Andy. My buddy Brad was close to Andy and we would get a winner from him every once in awhile. I loved Lefty's burger too! But it was their French onion soup that was my favorite. I loved Sundays at the "Mighty M". Great day of racing and then dinner at either El Monaco, Frankie & Johnnys, Triangle Diner, The Canton, Billy Baxsters, or the Chateau. Great days!

Im sure our paths crossed on many occasions. Funny thing about Andy is he used to bet only with Humbertos Rodriguez wife,( who amazingly was pretty good looking) . No money would pass between them until the card was over at which time they would settle up.

Dan rawlings actually won the race with #5 at 18-1 but was dqed and placed third for interference. Their 7-5 Number was busted when the #7 came up empty at odds on

I'm sure we did. I'll be up there on August 9th for the Monticello Bagel Festival. About 10,000 people flood Main Street. A lot of fun!

Narrative ngc3
Tell F Face Calhoun he's entitled to a kick in his nuts ngc3
This is him bragging about a $3k win, no narrative, no post, no nada, not even in a wagering thread.

They are paying out in "steaks" today instead of money? That would be a novel idea for a track to try. Unless you are too stupid and don't know the difference between "steak" and "stake" dipshit.

When it comes to track steaks they MUST be "well done" ngc3

Sat behind Andrew H and his buddies for many years. Friendly enough to me. He would often track odds changes by scrawling changes in his program. Today, with CAWs, or at least drastic odds changes in the last minutes, that idea might not have been as fruitful. But he had, let’s say, some influence on some of the races, eh?

I saw a very young George Brennan visiting AH in his box, before he was exiled and I believe continued his career in Maine. Don’t forget that Ron Fawcett was a frequent visitor, plus one guy, not a horseman, who one time either sniffed coke or something similar, right there, to AH’s displeasure.
I had a cheap mare racing one day as the favorite- I remember her name and the catch-driver, whom I won’t name( he’s still active). When my mare, the favorite, finished off the board, AH turned to me and said, and I quote” you know, that race was fixed”. I wasn’t surprised about the news, only couldn’t figure out why he would tell me.
Finally, a good filly I co-owned won a NYSS at another track, beating, among others, one of his. We were both there, in those days before simulcasting. First person to turn and congratulate me was AH.

Yep. Andy had his perch and personal tv in the grandstand> He controlled the races for sure. And as you know many of the same crew have been there all these years later.

I talked with Ron Fawcett many times at Monticello. He had one of my favorite horses. High Hope Rick.

I never met her. I wonder if the Fawcetts are still around. How is Dennis related to Ron?
