I remember going to the new Garden State Park to watch Spend A Buck win the Cherry Hill Mile and the Garden State Stakes, both times drubbing the Maryland based and King Leatherbury trained I Am the Game. He was going to be the biggest bet of my life in the Derby at the time, which probably was about $20. However, since I was turning 18 the next day and going in the Air Force a few days later, I got suckered into spending all my time with my girlfriend and/or partying.

Of course I never saw her again. If I did, I'd be sure to tell her I haven't forgiven her for costing me $82.

Can you imagine a horse running today on March 23, April 6th, and April 20th and then the Derby? Trainers today suck.

Pancho Villa paid around $35 in that Bay Shore as a vintage " D Wayne off the Plane. "

Those were the days!

Or maybe it's just that most American trainers started copying Bobby Frankel's style of timing race starts.

Yup, of course the breeding today doesnt help, broken down horses creating broken down horses.

Didn't horses run more often before Lasix was routinely used?

If you'd only have gone to med/vet school. You'd never even think of asking such a question.

Yes, but I'm told there is no relation no matter how many stats can be provided.

Spend A Buck only paid $6.00 to win at Delaware Park. Had you been living by Playfair -- you'd be kicking yourself about that $16.20 win payoff you could have had.
