I met Walter at Yonkers when he was winning races in bunches. Then the horrific crime he committed. Then we met again on his return to Maine racing at the now defunct Scarborough Downs. He looked much older as life seemed to take it's toll on him. Maine racing officials heard from many who supported his return to racing here. He wasn't terrible at driving. But with purses so bad here, I guess he eeked out a living here. With Massachusetts approving him to drive last year, he did ok. Nothing great. Maybe enough to make a living. I always felt that if he never did what he did, he'd be a sure thing for the HOF. And maybe go down as one of the best on a 1/2 mile track. A tragic stupid mistake. Ruined a great career. Wasted talent.

Unfortunately it's supposed to rain here on Saturday after a beautiful week of weather
So it will be stromboli for me on Saturday.
Burgers on the grill tonight with fresh cucumber salad
Congrats on the win at Hoosier Rocco in race 1. Good luck with Gina

Thanks JT, Northfield about 1", 1/2" at the SPA and Mohawk.

They don't always fill out and /or come back strong at 3. Destined to be trying to duck the big boys and make some $$

Add Knoxville his foe that vanquished him today too  , trained by the same Casper The Ghost Trainer, Ray S. 

Shitkicker has the track pegged apparently, $13.18, and $19.32...keeping an eye on him....special shoes!

Thx for the heads up Sweet. Watched it. He sure looks kinda spindly to me. I'll pass.
In his defense, horses don't exactly float around that track. 1/5 and the announcer calls it a minor upset.
