True! or False?
Back In The Day
Mike Oosting piloted his own plane to get from Springfield IL.State Fair races to drive at the night time races at Bal.?
Extra credit.
If he did fly the plane, did he land it on the Bal. race track?
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

Mike Oosting landing a plane on the Balmoral racetrack.
That is so outrageous it can't be true, but it is so outrageous that it must be true.
Would some brave soul please ask him.
Are there no Balmoral fans left.
This was a hot topic back on the original "Horseplop" and "Barn To Wire".

Thank You!
I was starting to think that I was the only old fogey to remember "back in the day".
Parked it in the running horse shute and flew it out the next morning.

Lets review his DUI arrests. I don't have them. Got out of alot.
But only a demented inherited FUC at that time would climp into a plane piloted by him.
BUT then YOOOOSSSEEESES is ONE.

The defunct harness magazine called Horsemen and Fair World had a story about it that included a snapshot.
