Whatever happened to? Saratoga style

Tom Coddington?    Dave Gagner?     Kim Crawford?

I do seem to recall Kim Crawford, talented driver IMO, was caught with a roofing nail in his whip, drew a long suspension and ended up driving a sanitation truck for the town. Anyone know what became of him afterward? or the others?

I believe he's the track man at Batavia now

i believe Gagner moved out to California and not in the business

Dave drove for us for a while up there in my early days. Always seemed pleasant, like he was trying hard. Long ago. Where does the time pass?

He came to Monti for awhile when he was suspended at Saratoga..He won a lot of races.. Very talented driver..

[Fuguzzi]

  Yeah   He could definitely roll one.

Kim is Aces in my book...Go out of his way to help you and sense of humor to boot

Kim comes to Ford’s farm to grade the track.

Tom Coddington was originally from Monti,  his main owner was Jackie Jordan, eventually raced off of his farm in NJ, the last I knew.

Yes that's right about the owner. I recall that name.

Happy to hear Kim is alive and doing ok apparently. Glad he still has some ties to the business. i believe he coulda had some success at even larger venues.

Kim drove at Yonkers but wouldn't work the other drivers. He was a minnow in an ocean and had to go back to Saratoga. Also, he took care of the track at Vernon.

Crawford drove for D Sider down there, but Don didn't have the power he had with Bud, at that time.

Both above statements true.  After RR closed Donny ended up at YR   hHd a few stalls near me. Kopas would send him a few to train. Horses like Fog Patch. Quiet, diligent guy - hated Buddy, who really dicked him over.
