What a tough SOB that little guy was. i saw him put down a race at the Big M that took my breath away. Turned out I was standing right next to his ownership group. I was more excited than they were! LOL

That guy wasn’t too little. I stood next to him in the M paddock towards the end of his career. Big and mean looking. The groom told me not to get too close to him. All I know is Gallo kicked our horse’s ass that night.

Never seemed that big to me, but that's irrelevant. if you had a horse racing against Gallo, you had a really nice horse. Congrats and salud!

Mark Ford and the owner should have retired him earlier out of principle alone in my opinion. Yes Gallo still cleaned our clock in a NW $15,000 L6 but this was a true champion who should not have been forced to race at his advancing age. I guess winning $4,200,000 wasn’t enough for the connections.

The answer is a resounding YES!  If there is a major accident early in the card, they could very well cancel the rest of the card for lack of drivers!  Sad but true!!

This thought warms my heart.  Ideally this would happen at other tracks, but it is like the joke....what do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

People still watch Jai Alai, the most crooked betting events ever? I was in college and my buddies would head over to Miami Jai Alai on a Saturday night. The excitement was like going to a Super Bowl. The fronton was always packed on the weekend. But it was years later when I read just how fixed these great nights around Florida were. Never again for me.

  If there is a major accident early in the card, they could very well cancel the rest of the card for lack of drivers! 
Anybody remember this?
Hawthorne about 20 years ago.
Horses turn to go to the gate.
There is a problem.
Result.
A horse is scratched because no driver to drive the horse.
Why was there no driver to drive the horse?
Who was the driver that turned the horse to the gate?
He was a kid then, but you all know him now.
What happen that he couldn't drive the horse in the race?
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.
