You know everybody Fuguzzi. Was there a Cory Garafalo at Meadowlands in the late 80s or am I confusing him with Carl who got popped for drug stuff a few years ago? For reference Mike Loreto was Garafalo's 2nd trainer and Jersey Joe Schwind drove for them most of the time.
The only person from MR that Jidge mentioned that I ever heard of is little Randy Perry. Of course he also raced in NYC and I think he is still around. There are so many MR trainers and drivers that have come and gone.One of my favs long ago was Jim Grundy. He was quite successful for a few years at MR before packing up and head west to California. He had a successful career there too. Another MR favorite who I actually made a good buck betting was Gilles Villemure the ex-NHL goalie. He would show up out of nowhere with long shots. I, being a NY Ranger fan, bet him first and second in every exacta he was in. So many times he would come in the money with a limited number of horses. Villemure is 83 years young probably living in the French area of Canada.
Oh no Hate to hear that happened to mario and I know you are right now. I think Mario was a HS teacher. Math. I may be wrong, but that rings a bell. I wish him well if he reads this.
Gary Matthews??? Now that one escapes me. Randy Perry had some decent horses including one I used to race against called Prime Almahurst. Rest of course, I know of. Wow - John Stadleman Jr. Wonder what became of him....

Yeah -- this crew is probably a little before your time -- by the 80s I was already on the west coast.
Delcampo trained for the Glassers for awhile. He was a top pool player.
