A question on Easy Goer...

[blackthroatedwind]

In 1985, when Lundy was running Calumet, they hired Smiley Adams as their trainer and he brought a string up to Saratoga about a month before the meet started. JT Lundy rented my parents house for Smiley Adams.

The Dead played at Spac in late June that year, and I showed up in town with some of my friends, and stopped by my house. My Dad was having a drink on the porch with Smiley Adams.

It was all quite a contrast even without throwing Jerry Garcia into the mix.

I love SPAC. The first day I got my license I drove to Saratoga for the Beastie Boys and the Spa. Cigar won the Whitney that Saturday.

He also never won on Whitney Day...or any day at Saratoga. He did, however, run third once in the first race, I think, on the turf one day.

Tell me the year, I'll tell you the winner of the Whitney.

For good measure I checked his PP's, he didn't even run on Whitney Day. i got my license that day, i was right about that, August 1st, 1994. He ran the next Saturday... and finished 3rd on the turf. The SPAC concert was August 2nd, 1994. God was i a stupid kid back then. My mother would have maimed me if she had known i had driven all the way to Saratoga and back, i think i told her we were going camping in the finger lakes!

moral of the story: never, EVER, debate Blackthroatedwind about Saratoga results. well done my man.

I was getting worried there. I expected the next thing from you to be that you saw a bootleg copy of " Candy ".
