Just read a great piece in the NY Times by Bill Finley about this pacer who will soon be 15yrs old, and MUST retire because that's the max age allowed to race.
He's racing tonight at Sports Creek Raceway in Michigan, making his 384th start!
He's won 92 races, 23 in 2006 alone! When he began his career he lost his first 24 races; now that defines not giving up. Bravo Air Albert, I'm rooting for you.

BTW, Mark Mayes the son of James Mayes. Jimmy's best horse was China Dragon, however he's had far too many to count over the years.
