1984 at Fairplex Park a little maiden allowance first time starter named "Paba". She was a 2yo that drew the 1 hole and went wire to wire with Kenny Black aboard. That was the first race horse we ever owned and our first starter. She payed $17.20

My most special race was the last race on the Turfway card on Sept 25th 1996. That was the last race I ever got to see with my father. He passed away the very next day.

1978 Marlboro Cup: The elder statesman Seattle Slew put the young phenomenon Affirmed in his place. Fittingly, the old warrior Forego was paraded for the crowd before he officially retired that day.

Oh treasure that memory forever.
Thank you for sharing that with us.
Sorry I am very sentimental.
