Race tracks that are gone

[Aly-Sheba]

I remember going to Hollywood Park back in 1977 when Seattle Slew came out after winning the Triple Crown. The place was packed and while it wasn't Seattle Slew's day, however it was J.O. Tobin's day with Shoemaker up. As the horses were coming down the stretch the crowd was going nuts and yelling Shoe Shoe Shoe the whole stretch drive. It was electrifying. Days like that along with the First Breeders Cup and watching Niatross destroying his fields in world record times at the night harness racing they had there were a few of the special memories I have.
