There was a guy from BC that tube them right in the Greenwood race paddock. I just can't remember his name?? This was before Big Bill figured it out.

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.
