Is Kyle’s grandfather Tom who drove at Buffalo/Batavia in the 70’s and 80’s?

rainman2, remember when we used to watch Wally at Pompano Park? Me, you, Freddy, Johnny Sandals. Great days! Wally. Kevin Wallis, Tom Harmer, Mickey MicNichol, and Bruce Ranger. I used to see Wally at the qualifiers. A nice guy. I hope he does well in his comeback.

Yes. They drop the purses through the winter when there is less competition for horses then bump back up when lots of tracks open.

I believe Monticello does the same thing lowers in the winter and raises in the spring.

Don't purses get adjusted every year? For the winter meet they drop 10% and springtime forward they rise 10%?

not sure exporter
i dont recall the purses declining prior to this
of course yonkers has many faults, point being from the strictly business side of things ( purses) it seems to be doing very well
as we know good purses lead to more money for yearling purchases etc
again financially speaking all good for the overall industry

Monday, 3/30, (8:25 pm) Race 6 - #1 Captain Albano...

Not sure who else is showing up (other than what I've seen

)

This horse qualified at the BigM fully restrained 151 2/5...Had a 47-48 mile in him.

Other than some phenom coming along, Captain Albano should sweep the proceedings.

Horse had a 149 2/5 in a LBJ elim 2 years ago

.

2 years ago means shit...but a 1/2 mile track lover, looks ready to kill....and with 5 elims on that card, Burke has only one running in a $21k nw of 15kl5 - even he knows better!
