My all-time favorite Wood was in 1988 when Private Terms defeated Seeking the Gold and the "Johnny Campo-trained" Cherokee Colony.

The field included - Tejano, Dynaformer, Ballindaggin, Brian's Time, Sewickley, Perfect Spy and Pleasant Evening.

I believe that the stakes record was smashed that day in a time of 1:47 and change.

Just a flash-back.........

If I recall correctly there was a Phipps filly who ran that day and turned out to be a legend.
