Albatross Spk5/8 and Maywood
Rambling Willie many times many tracks
Tarport Hap Arlington and Hawthorne

I saw Jenna race a few times but he never won.  Got my picture taken holding him at Southwick Farm training center a few days before he got beat by Falcon Dakota in the 1996 American-National at Sportsman's Park.  JBB was one of 2 horses I ever saw up close and personal who looked like an equine weight lifter.  Bulging muscles on top of muscles.  The other was T-bred Dr. Fager.

Denali was a real good horse for Doug Ackerman but he was same crop as Niatross and Niatross was a freak.

Somebeachsomewher e
1.49.2 paul mcdonnell

Later same summer,

saw Somebeachsomewher e late August dominant in all time 3 yr old, half mile time victory of 1.49.0!!!!!

And one t'bred moment..age 16 with my father october '73..saw Secretariat's last race @ Toronto's packed Woodbine, moist October conditions, when 'Big Red beat up best Canadian horses, pulling awa. Eddie Maple on for suspended regular Ron Turcotte.
My dad had bought $2 show ticket. But we lost the uncashed 2.10 somewhere along the way....fifty yrs later thatd be worth somethin'.

1959 Champ Volo     Greenwood Raceway (Toronto)     Beat heavily favored Howard Rosecroft is straight heats.

1967 Bret Hanover   Batavia Downs     Not only was his race phenomenal but he "owned" the crowd afterwards with his prancing and bowing on his way to the winner's circle.

2013 He's Watching     Buffalo Raceway     One of his first starts as a two-year-old, he broke before the quarter, spotted the field about 20 lengths, then circled the group to win a NY Sires Stakes event.
