Bino was one of the all time greats. He sold everything out of that old station wagon. He kept his accounts in his head. Half of the backstretch at every track in the northeast had running accounts with him. His main man from way back was Rick Plano at Pocono and in Delaware. He also had an interest in a funeral home in New Jersey I think. He would be at Monticello in the morning show up at Yonkers in the afternoon and be seen leaving Meadowlands at night. I really miss that guy.
You mentioned Rick Plano in your reply. I last saw him at Pompano before it closed forever. The man could barely walk yet he is still training and driving. I think he is 72 years old racing against the much younger group of drivers at Harrah’s Hoosier. I don’t know Plano personally but what makes him want to keep driving in his condition and with some decent, younger catch drivers available to him?
Rick had hip replacement surgery and now walks fine
Rick wanted his son to join him, but he married a valley girl, and she wants him in California. You know the three greatest forces in the world are wind water and women and women on top of the first two.
