About 4 yrs ago, we had horse running at Fonner named The Nutz. He had won our biggest race, The Gus Fonner Handicap. He was now 12 yrs old. His last win came at Fonner in a cheap claiming race. When he was coming down the stretch in that race, I was running along the edge of the track, yelling "Win another one for us old guys!". Will always remember that, and the fact that after the race, the owner took me backside and let me meet him.
