Awesome stuff and I'd buy the book for sure.

Only story I have is when I went to the track with my Grandpa and he'd drop me back at home he'd say, "Tell your mom you went to the zoo. You're not lying, you saw animals." Must have been in deep shiat with my Grandma and why we went to the backside to see goats and ducks.

Quite a few that I recall. Steve Klesaris was at Commodore. Loren Cox. Gerald Bennett. Dale Baird ran there a lot and everywhere else. I can't believe some people say he belongs in the Hall of Fame, he ran a Livery stable. What a joke that would be.

what is a Livery Stable?

A place one would go to rent a horse, back in the day. I'd imagine they were as well treated as rental cars today...

So, probably used as slang to say stable full of nags

Great reading Doug and thanks for sharing that. Seeing those old PP's and $1500 claimers brought back memories. I haven't seen a good porn mustache in years.
