Where are they now ???

[Jackie Mo]

Whereabouts of Doris Basilone

after Monticello kicked her out--she went to Flamboro/Western Fair

i think she had some positives her first month there

[Jackie Mo]

Can't remember a leading driver at any track ( meaning the annual dash winner ), who was more enmeshed in corruption and dumped more races than Billy Bresnahan. Amazing he found the time to win any. He was Herve's "bitch ", I guess you would call it.

Bresnahan fixed a ton of races at freehold with Brennan/Morrill/Jim King/Howard Parker

of course they had this all approved by  Cat Manzi-who received a cut

[JIDGE]

Jack & Jayne lived together until Jack passed.  Jayne still trains horses races Northfield, Scioto, Ohio fairs

Believe they met at Monticello mid-late 70s. Jayne arrived from Ohio with trainer Susan Fogt? -- back when Jayne was still driving.

I assumed that, ty. just meant between his sudden departure from YR and RR and the ultimate reality.

Jackie Mo you are right. How about Jim Vitalie and Marcel Robelard probably didn't spell their last names right.

[remington]

How about Howard Parker ?

How about Howard Parker ?

still counting his cash from the 90s fixings

I didn't care for Bill Fahy as a horseman/driver and I am not surprised he doesn't miss the business. He didn't seem like he was paying attention when he was in it.

Fug, I always thought he was a little bit arrogant as well.

[rainman2]

i never liked Fahy as a driver, dont know much about his horsemanship

my memory is fading--did Fahy drive Fake Left or Western Hanover?

my old brain says Fake Left, but i am not sure anymore

Your brain is old!  LOL   Waples drove Fake Left.  McNichol was scheduled to drive Fake Left but got hurt on Jug Day.  Fahy drove Western Hanover.

I;m sorry, but Marcel Robillaird was a good man and mentor and well respected.

Anyone know where Steve Smith has been riding?

[eagles1]

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.
[/quot    Randy Perry]died about 15 years ago. maybe more.

Steve Smith is still a regular at Freehold. He also makes regular appearances at the Meadowlands and Yonkers. He still looks to be partners with Karen Garland. The few times I had a chance to chat with Steve he seemed to be a good guy.
