Not familiar with that. There was a bar just down the road called the Hide-Away Inn which is actually still in business.

She died about 5 or 6 years ago. Before she died she hung around with this real old guy named Moe so she could mooch off his pension check. She also used to come over to my brother and wife's house for leftover food they gave her because she was flat broke. She had a son named Lee who lived close by but he never helped her.

I believe she had a son, Alan Carter, who hung around Winterset as a kid.

She had 2 kids, Alan and Lee. Alan was the older one and a smartass. One time we were in the clubhouse at Brandywine and Jeannie was sitting on the bench with her fake husband and my friend looked over at her cleavage and her son Alan saw him and said, "take a picture, it will last longer".

I know the whipping rules have been modified but when Crank drove Town Drunk, he beat the living crap out of him with the whip and the horse responded well. Crank lived in a trailer at Winterset Farms along with some other drivers during the Brandywine meet.
Did track announcer Roy Shudt call Crank “ the town drunk” in a post parade one night at Brandywine? Or just a story?

I don't recall. Towards the end Roy's announcing was really slipping and he was forgetting the horses names alot but knew the drivers colors so he'd say, here's comes Jimmy for Jimmy Larente. Late in his career he announced one meet at Harrington Raceway. The track lighting was very poor and he was totally lost calling the races.

I remember Roy’s calling a photo at the wire “Marbird! No sir” Marbird got nipped at the wire.

 He was a great announcer in his prime but hung on too long.

Sunday night at Brandywine always had a great card. Top drivers would come in from all over. I remember the grandstand glass would retract on a nice summer night with a beautiful colorful display on the lake in the infield.

My father first took me there was I was around 13, it was still a 1/2-mile track then. In the years before they closed, I lived only 1 mile away so I was there every night. Their cafeteria had good food too, the clam chowder was really good, and it wasn't that expensive, and they had the best milkshakes around.

Yes the cafeteria had great food! Ted Leonard was a great race secretary always approachable and would have a nice talk with you. Really nice man.
