Found some old programs...

For Your Pleasure, Morning Frolic, Believe It, Sauce Boat, Junction and Alydar were all SW's. Historically was a SP winner.

Calligraphy was Mill House (by Art and Letters) and Woody did train him. He and Believe It were uncoupled.

Cool thing to me was how many outstanding mares I saw and who they eventually produced.

None as influential to the breed as Mississippi Mud, dam of Dixieland Band.

Hold on to those programs, if for nothing else than to be able to look back and reminisce when in the future someone on a message board talks about their old programs and you suddenly realize you threw all of yours away

Or a flood in your storage room ruined them.

A tragedy.

Pristine copies of the first few Marlboro Cups....Onion's Whitney over Secretariat. It makes me want to cry thinking about it.

I remember looking at the program one day at the track, I think Del Mar.

I saw a 2yo debuting that had my birthday. Since he was by Nijinsky, I went over to look him over in the walking ring and thought something like, wow, what a magnificent looking horse. I thought about keeping the program, but since I was only 18 years old or so, I had no use for sentiment. It was Ferdinand, and the race turned out to be a pretty good field, if I remember correctly.

Wish I'd have kept the Snow Chief msw program, Melairs last start, Swear, Akinemod and Lakeways programs.

Oh well.

Well at least your friends who couldn't think of what to get you for your birthday have a myriad of ideas now. Better than that Zenyatta paperweight.

Did you apply for disaster relief? That is sad. I have los alot of programs. I like the old pocket programs but now I bring PP's to the track and don't get a program except on very big days.

I could argue that Glowing Tribute (who I missed that weekend but saw many times) as the dam of 7 sw's including Hero's Honor, Sea Hero and Wild Applause, was the most influential, though more through daughters than sons. Beneath Wild Applause are countless SW's including her son Roar, the broodmare sire of Rachel Alexandra.

I loved Glowing Tribute even when she raced. Wouldn't it be between her and Courtley Dee?

I still can't believe Wild Applause paid $9 when she made her turf debut in the Diana. Of course, Hero's Honor paid $22 in his turf debut....the race after Slew o' Gold beat Bates Motel a pimple in the Marlboro.
