Thats right   looked like a wooden ship, remember?   then there was a place further up central avenue called Mt. Parnease   waitresses were always nasty   lol

I think the diner up central avenue is Mt Olympos. Its adjacent to Charles Oakley's car wash.

If you went to Roosevelt, you have surely been to Gam Wah.

Old Guy got the Jimmy Cruise horse correct, It was Frank T Ace

While speaking of Monti, who knew Ricky Kurtz, John Conti, or Jerry Silverman?

In 1975 Buddy Gilmour's lawsuit against Roosevelt and Yonkers Raceways:  Two strangers, in the closing minutes that the betting window was open, had placed an unusually large bet of $5,000 on the exacta combination of "1" and "5", the numbers of the horses driven by Gilmour and McNutt, and immediately after the race collected between $28,000 and $32,000 on the winning combination and then disappeared. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/405/458/1432740/

Ricky Kurtz used to have a bilboard advertisement getting into the monticello area. He also had a picture when he broke the bike seat while jumping up and down finishing a race. Orange colors.
