Best Catch Driver Comeback
« on: June 09, 2026, 12:57:21 PM »
To a bitchy owner/trainer.
Pompano Park early 70's
Billy Haughton
"Mr. If he had been alright, I would have driven him alright"?
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

Horse kicks Billy O'Donnell out of bike at Meadowlands and starts running loose around the track. Outrider attempts to catch him. Someone says, Hey Billy, do you think the outrider will catch him and Billy say yes, as soon as he passes the 3/4 pole

John Campbell drives a horse for Skip Lewis one night at M1. The horse is a notorious knee knocker. Horse as usual whacks his knees the whole mile and finishes tenth. When Campbell pulls horse up, Skip asks Campbell how the horse was and Campbell responds, "He needs a bigger track".

I have been waiting for someone to post the video of O'Donnell'S  "NO SHIT" comment. After a horse fell in the post parade with him. A Breeders Crown race I think. Maybe Russler Hanover?

As I recall, the race was at Rosecroft Raceway.

I stand corrected, it was Roosevelt Raceway in 1987, the only year it hosted any Breeder's Crown races.
