Pleasant Surprise Meeting Bobby Ussery
 

I went over near the Racing Office today and I noticed a man sitting on the bench. I sat down and asked him his name and he was Bobby Ussery, I chatted for close to 2 hours and what a fantastic gentleman. What great stories of great races and people. He's going to be there tomorrow, so stop by and see him. He's 80 yrs old and doing well and has a mind like a steel trap for races. He's a treasure. Love and appreciate these people.

That's great.. Always special having so many HOF riders on the grounds for induction weekend.. Eddie Maple. Manny Ycaza. Braulio Baeza. Ussery. McCarron. Bailey. Treat for real racing fans with sense of the games' history..

What a great guy Bobby is.

Anybody remember Ussery's alley?

It was at Aqueduct....way back when i 1st went to the A.

Ussery's alley was more of a strategy than a place. I believe it may have first started at Hialeah but was also used at New York tracks.

Interview
 

I would love to hear Steve interview him. - didn't he ride Dancers Image?

PROLIFIC with the ladies as well.
