My first real job in journalism was with the Oneida Daily Dispatch where I covered Vernon Downs. I got to interview harness breeder/owner Harry Hogan when his Lakewater Star won a few stakes at Meadowlands. Niatross was raised at his farm and turned out for winter there. As I've said on ATR, Niatross was something to see in person. He had the 'Look of the Eagle' as they say of Champion racehorses. An awesome physical presence.

If I could claim a horse it would be Tally Up, who is in the 6th at CD for 7,500. He is a little, red, speedy closer.
