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.

  • Calhoun: Thx I'm leaning to the 5 there.  Those CD/GP full field races look the best on the page. 1/2 length from being a G3 winner.
