arlington park was the first track to offer trifecta wagering and that was in 1971. Apparently Calder jumped on the bandwagon soon as that was the same year Larry King hit his big trifecta at Calder

Here is a great article that states Larry King is full of it in his story.

There are so many ways to go wrong with lies, that you would think he would give that up at when he turned 70 or so. For all we know, somebody kept the results from that day, and the pool size may not even jive with what he's saying. I don't see how a horse who beat this type of group (a couple races ago) would be 70-1. Show me that deal. Is that not the most absurd part of his tale? Just should of said he liked the way she looked on the track. See, when you get away from the truth, most people tend to get away from reality too much. We like that. That's why they make movies.

You would think that Larry would be the one doing the valet parking.

There was no trifecta wagering at Calder in 1971
