I dont know how anyone else could remember the story differntly unless they were at barn D 3 at Turf paradise on that Sunday morning , there were a few more adjectives that he used , but I didnt think that they needed to be re-said.
We are obviously not talking about the same "Mr. Finley" -- is it Jack Finley you are talking about?

The only Jack Finley that owned her , who always sent all his babies to Punk Cheeny and Linda Tanner ( Punks wife ) in Phx. Az. , Kevin Lewis used to break all of Jack's babies even after he started training on his own he used to go out to Dutch Berets place near Happy Valley road and get on them. Mr Finley was even kind enough to let me ride a couple for him in the afternoon , Housemaid was one of them and Dukes Moment was the other .
