An Afternoon with Harvey Pack
 

We taped an interview with Harvey shortly before heading to Saratoga...

Great interview, thanks. Saratoga not the same without Harvey.

I just watched this. Awesome stuff.

Can remember streaming just the audio from DRF.com?? in the early-mid 2000's Siros Days. Then seeing my first one live in 04. Those were great shows.

Thanks for taping and posting online.

That was fantastic Andy. Thanks for posting it

That was wonderful.

Love Harvey's humor, even if it's paid for!


Didn't you hand out a trophy to Pletcher this meet? (Obviously after this was taped.)

You really don't find videos like this with legendary storytelling. I've been around racing for 15 years, and you almost always have to experience these types of memory lane trips first hand through personal interactions. While that is always an experience unto itself, to have some classic Harvey Pack stories shared in this way is great. It made you feel like you were part of a three-way conversation where you sat back and listened to Andy tee-up Harvey and let him go...just brilliant. Thanks!

Andy and Harvey - Thank you for being you !

I thoroughly enjoyed the repartee and trip down memory lane. :tro:

Nice interview. Thankfully, it's not easy to get action on photo finishes anymore.

Utterly wonderful.

That was cool.

Thanks. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. Harvey is incredible. 86 and doesn't miss a beat.

That was priceless, Harvey is quite a character. God bless him at 86 and sharp as a tack. Greatly appreciated Andy. :)

His book is excellent. This game had such character & characters.

That race was named for a friend of mine's horse ( and he wasn't there ).

Enjoyed the book. Took it out to Siros for Harvey to sign. Great interview.

Andy, that was excellent. I enjoyed it greatly and sat there with a smile the entire time.
I'm sorry that it was only 30 minutes, I could have watched that for hours.

Thanks for posting

It took about 3 seconds to start smiling at that. It feels good that Harvey Pack is still so lucid and hilarious. It must be cool playing hosses at age 86. They should give him a key to the city or something like that. Imagine if he came out of retirement for one more show.

Very cool. Not to be greedy, but more of this, please. :)

This was delightful!
