This shouldn't be to hard if you work backwards.
With the standard 5% for training and 5% for driving, you would need more then one horse in the race , or if just one horse the purse would have to be over two million. How many races have gone for over two million?

Eldon Harner.    Fortune Teller

Dave Willoughby

Yes Yes Thanks old guy. He wouldn't admit it, but he sold more shoes then Bret could ever have worn.
So if anyone has a set of Bret shoes hanging on the wall from your grandfather, they may well have come off a $2,500 claimer.

No not this time.
Del Insko as tr/dr won going for over $2 million with Land Grant.

Good guess through.
One year Eldon had a punch of Leigh Hanover colts at Pocono. He kept bitching that the head of the toteboard was the Leigh Hanover stopping pole.

A really nice horse, a JFA at Yonkers and Roosevelt. The driver was blind in one eye and his name is on the tip of my tongue.

I can still see him in the sulky. Might his name be Henry Thomas or something like that?
