Matt is still there. He still believes BSFs are the only thing to pay attention to when handicapping.

Is his streak of hitting the tri in the derby for 20 straight years still intact?

Does he still donate pizza crust to the homeless hungry?

Exactas...Not hard to do when you put all horses that have run a 100+ BSF on top on top and then hit the all button. Don't know about the homeless hungry, but I am sure he still donates his time to the gay soup kitchens of SF. He is reguarded as some sort of guru over on Victoria's board

Either 1987 or 1988 for me. Tough call.

I can remember vividly walking down to the bar with my Dad to watch those races (we didn't have a TV back then)... stopping at the OTB to bet on the way. Strange because there's not much else I remember from that age (9-10).

I'm surprised nobody else liked 1985.

The field only had about a dozen runners but included Spend A Buck, Stephen's Odyssey, Chief's Crown, Tank's Prospect, Skywalker, Proud Truth, Eternal Prince and even Fast Account (a decent horse).
