Harold Story was a real character. I remember when they made it mandatory to wear glasses while driving. Story never wanted to so he just wore the frames and took out the lenses. I also remember at Green Mountain Park he came out in the post parade with his pet monkey riding on the horses back. Fun times back then.

War Nickel, a very nice open handicap trotter he had at the BigY.  Trying to remember the other two, who ever got the 6 or 7 of the 6,7,8 post left first and usually won.  Maybe Covert Action, Schnittker's horse was one of them.  Those were the fucking days, almost 40 years ago!
