Pass the envelope, please

I was introduced to Andy Herzog by my friend Brad Sheiner (RIP) at the "Mighty M". He had a private box and people would follow him to the window. LOL! Andy's dad "Lefty", owned the Lefty's restaurant in Monticello. Best onion soup and burgers in town. Was always packed on the weekends. I saw Andy almost every night at the track. He was  a big gambler then. What has haapened to him? It's been over 30 years since i've seen him.

If I recall correctly it was Andy who gave $$$$$ to Dennis Fawcett, Tom Merton and Danny Ricco. And as I recall a deal was reached because Andy said it was simply a loan, not an "envelope" to go dead with their horses.

Their punishment was to be tossed and not face criminal charges for those three. Tommy is back training and driving.

I saw Danny lissted to drive but there was a lat change a couple of weeks ago.

Again, this is based on my crappy memory

Last time I saw Andy was 10 years ago, the last time I had horses racing at Monti. He had a box in the deserted grandstand with TVs for simulcasting and a SAM betting machine plus the usual entourage. He also had many horses racing at the time at different tracks with that questionable outfit from Fla. Cant think of the trainer's name right down but they were somewhat successful

Don was her father. He might have been out of the picture. The stable was in Tracey’s name but Josh Mark’s ran the show. He could certainly light em up.

Yeah, I knew who ya meant   I do remember a time when don was listed, then tracey    of course, not Josh
