One of the best when the money was down. Got to know him pretty good when he raced at M1 in the late 70's. He had a horse named Cardinal Sin A. Carmen made a ton with him.

Carmen Alessi to 60K out of the windows at the Meadowlands with a trotter named Black Label 1979 remember like it was yesterday. He was a character he took a lot of money out of Sportsman Park.

I remember sitting in the clubhouse at Hawthorne with his sister Terri and her husband, Don Ranachowski. He was the trainer on many horses Carmen drove!!  I don't think he was too sharp as a trainer!!

  • Bitter Truth: That Golden Tempo , I'm afraid is  a money burner. Gets so far back. Was in range but just hung and raced even in the stretch. Didn't see a Derby winner in there in my opinion.

  • dougie: He got good tactical speed. I really thpught he had a big shot to pull it off.

  • Trigger: If Pavlovian can rate a bit, maybe he wins the derby.  Nice horse  tmbz1

  • Trigger: I thought BT & I had a real good shot w/ a 110 4/5, wide but nice momentum, and then a sharp left turn mid stretch ended that  ngc3
