HoP/SP Park drivers
« on: April 29, 2026, 08:06:56 PM »
I looked at the drivers for HoP for this week and it took me back to the haydays of Sportsmans Park.
Dale Hiteman 05/25/1956   8,767 wins   $70,246,174
Lavern Hostetler 05/16/1952   3,652 wins $26,223,132
Dan Shetler  01/12/1950   2,714 wins   $28,273,385
All three had top stables (yes) "back in the good old days".
And throw in Joel Smith with Desperate Lady.

I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

The bad part in those days was getting paid for drivers. Back when I raced the only direct payment came from Windsor Raceway. " Catch up with you when my Owner pays his bill" was a common phrase heard while hanging up the lines back then!

  • Sweet: Please Lord, give PurpleSheetPicks FIXED ODDS at every track and every ADW he could wager with, he'll prove he's right.  Racing will be saved, a tsunami of gamblers will show back up, drugs, cheating, animal abuse will stop, real regulatory and enforcement will engage.  There'll be world peace, and he'll stop whining and crying!  Amen!  ;D

  • Sweet: The fact of the matter is the win pool on Beau Jangles was I believe a negative pool,  his real odds not 1/9 but 1/99.  Enough already, we're the real patrons of thius F'ing sport, many of us also care for these animals despite the best don't want drugs and whipping, abuse.  Competition yes!

  • Lockedin with Pace: Robust Hanover was a very small horse driven by William O'Donnell. In fact the late Stan Bergstein used to refer to him as the "little peanut".
