Great fact about more names than announcers that is probably the only track with that claim to fame.
Also gotta love hearing Spencer Ross doing the OTB commentary and the preferred disco music in the background. I've posted here before the old Roosevelt Raceway intro was "Express" by BT Express.

I once took a full week of leave to go to Philly Park every day during the late 80s when the track was frozen. It was an absolute goldmine. I remember betting horse at 10-1 that won by 19 lengths. We tried to watch outside but it was too damn cold to last the whole race, single digits and wind chills well below zero. They'd never run these days if it was that cold.
