Oh, and 1400 to 900 is considerably more but not really "twice" as many

Dont like saying you are wrong but i dont remember that at all  I always remember Bobby on his own   Used Joe Marsh alot   Matter of fact Bobby was in a barn with me, Jerry Hade and Perry Steinkhol at YR after RR closed   Now I do seem to recall there was a gap between Jack T and Bobby S    so maybe Booby  Hiel filled in with carmine for a while    I had horses with Carmine 81 82 83 only because a partner of mine was a partner of someone else   we had Columbia Lee nice 33000 claimer Evenings Choice basically an unsound 18/22k  Bobby always seemed to have an attitude

Evenings Choice
Ah Yes, Or better known as "Oh White Foot" in Chicago.
He was the first good colt I can remember Nelson Willis having.
Hanging on my office wall is a picture of a colt of mine beating "White Foot" at Sportsman's Park in an IL. bred three year old stake from 1979.
"White Foot" is the exception to the hard, fast, and true axiom.
One white foot you tryum!
Two white feet you buyum!
Three white feet you sellum!
Four white feet you Cut Their Throat and Feedum To The Crows!
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

Try to get a 'catch driver' at Yonkers today.  Not much a selection as it seems there are only about 12 drivers racing there!

Why is that? The money is good, and plenty of year round racing.
