How about having Carlos Figueroa back to compare training methods of the past to training methods now, with say Linda Rice?

The King of the Fairs! Thought that was pretty memorable. Tried hard to get some questions in, but clearly wasn't having much luck and just had to let him go wherever he wanted.. You definitely hit on the best moments... the track kitchen line and the women trainer/rider thoughts. Could probably do a week with nothing but people who went through the fair circuit on their way up or down in the game. Do have to find some of the jocks that were brought up..

Marshfield Fair
I am really enjoying listen to these stories, very entertaining.
One year I was at Marshfield with my wife and very young daughter, I can't remember the distance of the race but one of the horses collapsed on the jockey and dropped dead right on the spot. Out comes the equipment to remove the horse which consists of a front end loader and a tow truck. Quite the introduction to the sport for my daughter. |

Here is a direct link to the uproarious chapter in Beyer's "My $50,000 Year at the Races", Barrington Fair: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Crime. (Perhaps the greatest chapter title in publishing history)..

will always be grateful to the king for helping my father into the winners circle in a monsoon to take what would be his last picture there.
side note, when this hoss ran, the comment in the paper was "comes from a sharp betting outfit". I remember telling the trainer " i wonder who they're talking about, cuz it sure ain't us. Hoss gets dusted at 4-5. Next start 13-1 she wins by a pole. Too funny. |
