So we see the shake was all over the country and Down Under and in full swing by the mid 1980's. In a common 8 horse field of overnight class racing, how many would you say got a shake?

At Sportsmans Park, It was Ed Holderman training with Dan Knox driving.

Man, those were the days!  Dan Knox was a nothing, and all of a sudden he could just blow fields away.  Good prices too.
