I to grew up at the Big T with regualar appearances (every day) during the 14 - 18 years. Anthony Rini was the top jock and there was a guy that would yell at him every time he raced from the stands about stiffing horses.

Anyway, a good friend of mine drives to the new Presque Isle for simucast cause it's nicer. The Big T days may be numbered, but I hope not.

Truth be known, my first favorite jockey was his one-time rival, Guy Smithson, but that goes back a bit far for most of you folks here.

(and I started regular track attendance in grade school, and remember the horses and riders and trainers well...... )
