In 1985, when Lundy was running Calumet, they hired Smiley Adams as their trainer and he brought a string up to Saratoga about a month before the meet started. JT Lundy rented my parents house for Smiley Adams.
The Dead played at Spac in late June that year, and I showed up in town with some of my friends, and stopped by my house. My Dad was having a drink on the porch with Smiley Adams.
It was all quite a contrast even without throwing Jerry Garcia into the mix.
