Lad,
My first serious pro writing gig was for the Oneida Daily Dispatch (Oneida, NY).. Part of my Sports coverage included Vernon Downs.. I had the real privledge of getting to see Niatross, who was foaled and wintered in Vernon, up close. I'll tell you flat out that had he been a thoroughbred he'd have been a Citation. Had as regal a presence about him as any horse you'll ever meet. Was simply a SPECTACULAR racehorse..
