I used to go when the parking lot was a muddy mess. Grandstand was a wooden tinderbox. $800 purses. Vacationed in Ocean City. Body surfing during the day. Crabs for dinner. And Ocean Downs at night. Life could not get any better than that.

Race 4 #2

Back in late 60's my family just started racing there. I remember selling newspapers for the Baltimore Sun and making 5 cents a copy! Going out to the parking field and pushing people out when it rained for 10 cents!

Didn't want to start a new thread BUT Running Aces has a 'Very' impressive turnout tonight.
Most that I've seen a harness track for quite a while. Doubt it will transfer over to handle but nice to see.

Running Aces is One of the few tracks that I have not been to.Been to Canterberry a few times and they drew well. People in Minnesota need to get out when springtime comes and no better way than to spend the day at the track

Who did George Anthony call "shorty"  He was usually in the top 5.

Who's going to be leading beard for Hall and Wagner?

I see Scofield down on Chaney's horses,,Rut FO,,What happen to J Crites Jr?

Crites got popped for doping at Rosecroft.   Forget how many days he got.

So glad to see Hall gone.  He's as bad as Wagner.  But then again..they aren't really "gone".

They had track feed problems last year.  Glad to see they got it fixed  11.wp 73cv.2  You'd think they would have had plenty of time lol

So just move them to Scofield and back in business! Never miss a beat.

All this crying about the cheats when the judges and racing commission are the main problem!
