40 Years Ago When I Lived And Breathed The Sport....

[Ignorance Is Bliss]

Incredible that I finally found this while looking for pics of Steve Neuhaus' mom at GHT when she was marshall, even my ex if they existed. And finally the old little article John Bruen Sr. did about me when I was taking care of Historic Track and had a barn of mostly young horses. What makes me laugh is him saying after what he witnessed me doing that GHT needs more people like me in the sport....and here I am.

Pretty cool Mike. That's why you keep stuff like that. Great memories.

I'll take a stab 

They struggled with the concept of simulcasting, savior number 1.

OTB shit holes, most would charge the customer a premium i.e. % less than track price payoff.

ADW's were non existent, bookies were, not G's fake bookie.

Cheating was so rampant they needed $3 base bet tris at Yonkers.

Yonkers purses dipped so low if it wasn't for phenoms like Case to attract at Yonkers (sub 5k purses), Northfield (sub 2k purses) they could of went under.  BigM was heavy weight champ then.

Some avg drivers like CatMan, even top aging guys like Herve pulling double duty at Freehold / BigM - Yonkers to make ends meet.

As bad as it was gamblers meant something, like water to a soiled seed, not this artificial bullshit...that turned more than their greed on roids.

It's incredible how much hate he gets. But articles and facts don't lie. Mike's an old man much like me now. LOL! But I don't doubt his love for the horses.

Simple, the hate is the result of actually getting something done that has NEVER been done before. A former trainer who actually loves the sport, adores the horses and was carrying a grudge is now their biggest nightmare. Ford was right about one thing he said to Dave Yarock, DO NOT GIVE PETRELLI ANY CREDIBILITY. Well....too late fuckers. Remember, when I'm quiet there's something coming over the horizon. 

Doug, when I saw the frame of that page I remembered that colt instantly. He was owned by a guy named Willie Younghans. Had a bunch of homebreds he raised in his backyard. I had the sister too, Wayneeva Dottie. She was the fast one, but couldn't stay sound.

Mike you bring the hatred on yourself. There's a reason why you're not allowed on any race tracks or farms. Can everybody be wrong?

Take a picture of you and "everybody" (a handful of harness crooks and scum  ) should be easy you lie fucking every day over the course of a month that you had lunch with them.

That's Mike's pic you asshole, where's yours...never, because you're ugly!
