So he wins a MSW event in his debut, wins an allowance race, and then runs in another MSW in his 6th start?

Also, where is/was JND?

[mik9872]

Jnd was Jefferson Downs in La.

Jefferson Downs was the premier racetrack of the south.

There were 2 Jefferson Downs.. The old Jefferson Downs was first Magnolia Park (1955) and a harness joint. Was renamed Jefferson and became a thoroughbred venue in 1959 and was leveled by Hurricane Betsy in the mid-60's. A new Jefferson Park was opened in Kenner in the 70's and survived until the early 90's.

His 6th career start was just a special weight race ... it wasn't restricted to maidens.

If anyone wants to know anything about any of John's races, let me know. I have the PPs which I cut out of the DRF in '84 prior to his Turf Classic victory over Win and All Along.
