The 1984 Flamingo stakes when Time for a Change looked Devils Bag in the eye going 109 3/5 for 6f and buried him in the turn for home and then was forced to repel a late charge from the stretch runner Dr. Carter. Unfotunately after that Time for a Change was never really the same.

I just rembered another....being a Jersey boy and this was my first year into horse racing. Seattle Slew and Dr. Patches in the 1978 Paterson Handicap at the Meadowlands. Seattle Slew caring 128 lbs..giving 14 to the winner and loses by a neck going 1 1/8 w splits of 23, 46, 1:09 4/5, 1:35

I watched that video of the Paterson and almost cried looking at what the state of racing in NJ is now.....
