tom,
im not looking to hijack ur thread. u brought back memories of NYRA when racing seemed so much more romantic but I didn't want to start a new thread.
when I was in college, hate to admit but it was early 70's, the last race at aqueduct often would be a 2 turn starter allowance. a horse named sarre greene was often a big factor in those races.
sprint races at the big A would have to go through an allen jerkens trained runner named duck dance. a shipper from sulfolk named king elinol was the only horse I can remember outfooting him in the first quarter though it was always duck dance who would take charge.
any other runners from back in the day ? (not the stars dr fager, Damascus etc just the overnighters)
