Amazing that in those days they would attract 40,000 people for races like the International Trot and the Messinger on a Saturday night and harness racing had weekly coverage of the feature race at a time when there were basically only 7 channels on TV. Stan and Spencer were great in those days.

Unfortunately, I watched because I was a degenerate in the making then, it is how I got to where I am today. But I do remember the wrestling coming on at midnight after the Roosevelt/Yonkers show ended. Who could ever forget the classic song "I believe in Yonkers!"
