How much crack do you smoke in a day? Wally is the best driver at Saratoga hands down! He misses the first two months leaves before December and finishes 2 or 3 in the standings.  I'll miss the wally world!

he may well be , dont know
 however it is a sad/concerning state when a man that age is the best driver at a track

 Very nice guy, great driver who had a great career.  Over $83 million made with 35 years straight of over $1 million in earnings.  Hope he enjoys his retirement. I'm sure he'll drive a few more, maybe his last in PEI this summer.

Enjoy your winter vacation Wally see you next spring

Wally drove Moni Maker a few times, no?

[Grandstand Handicapper]

Wally drove Moni Maker.....just a few times. LOL.

He was her main driver. Before she landed in Takter's barn, Wally was her main driver, and I remember Brian Allen driving her, and maybe David Ingraham. After Takter got her, Wally still drove her, but so did Jimmy and John Campbell.

Anybody remember who trained Personal Banner, the winner of the Breeders Crown over Moni Maker at Vernon Downs?

[Lance]

I think it was Bill Gallanger, Pete Wrenn was driving. Personal Banner ended up being the dam of Equinox Bi who made over a million.  I could be wrong but I don’t think Personal Banner ever raced again after beating Moni Maker in the BC, while not long after Moni Maker moved to Jimmy T and the rest is history.  I think Billy Fahy drove MM a few times early on.

You remember well.  George Steinbrenner had owned Personal Banner and Bill Gallagher trained her with Pete Wrenn in the bike in 1996.  A young and gorgeous Ellie Sarama was the host of the show.

Wally had a great career and should be very proud of his accomplishments but I can name over 50 drivers better than him.
