I would watch the start of the race - and maybe the first four or five laps - and at that point I'd leave for the hospitality tents and spend the rest of the race pigging out on free food and drinks and studying Daytona Kennell Club dog racing programs.

It was back in the day when dogs such as Lady Quick, I Get Around, Jay's Rule, Napolean Cavan, Paxton, and Pixie's Candy ruled Daytona.

that is sad.

Those dogs were awesome for a 3rd grader to follow - they ran twice a week with almost no exception.

Good memories. I'll never forget the time Napolean Cavan missed the break in the featured Grade TA hotbox race .. I think he broke from trap 6. He rushed up into the turn, got shuffled back to next to last again. Made a huge backstretch move into contention, but was still in traffic. He swung out in the stretch and looked like he'd do no better than 3rd with just a few jumps to go - but a final surge got him up by a nose in an impossible to call photo over a field that consisted of about 6 last out Grade A winners and the dog who was 2nd to him in a TA just a few days earlier.

Lady Quick was the best one I ever saw down there. She never missed a break - had dominant early speed - and almost never was caught late unless a quality finisher benifited on the 1st turn and ran it's A-race. You could almost count on her winning the two TA races a week at mutuals of like $2.40 and $2.60
