Terrific piece on Tony Black in the Philly papers

[hondo]

My 1st handicapping experiences were at Old Keystone or Kmart as we called because the sign which was a big K with horses running out of it. The top jocks were Tony Black and Rick Wilson and "honest" Burton Sipp owned the place as top trainer. Always liked Tony as jock just had to pick your spots....My friend was an assistant trainer during those days and said Tony was one of the best jocks in the mid-Atlantic when he wanted to be.

Steve,

Thank you. I would also have missed this article. I began following Philly Park when simulcasting first came to Pennsylvania. At first, the only tracks we could wager on were the PA tracks. I quickly started following the runners from Pha and Pen and then began looking at New York.

I visit Monmouth and Parx every year around the 4th of July and have always enjoyed seeing the horses and jocks up close. The game is so much more fun when you are experiencing it live.

Best of luck to Mr. Black and I am sure he will get #5200

Thank you for all of your hard work and for the best show on radio (or tv for that matter).
