Bay Meadows. Home. First time 1973 with my late Father. Mutuel clerk for a short time. Wrote the notes for the program when BM went briefly to an enlarged program. Though it was home, it was a tough place to beat for me. While full-time in NoCal in order of wager success it was GGF, fairs, then BM.
Stockton. Speaking of the fairs. Went there one time but it was a gold mine for years.
Vallejo. Was times back in the day that this place was so front speed bias that I would "white out" in my program any horse that did not have speed. Many times it was as easy as a simple two horse box.
In regards to bullrings late Ron Hansen was a master.
Now when it comes to the stewards they truly treat me in a negative manner.
