Harvey Pack
i realize there have been previous posts regarding Harvey; that said,
I recently went on Youtube, punched in Harvey's name and went back
roughly 40 years when I first became a fan of racing;
Harvey was an incredible person, who called it like it was
(as best as possible). That statement applied to jockeys, stewards,
NYRA etc.
BTW, there is a real interesting interview with TLG and Harvey
which will give you the giggles.
Happy Holidays!

His book, May The Horse Be With You, is a great read.

That's because he's still very much with us...NY BRED worded his post poorly (shocker).

Pack is a very funny guy. I remember a show he had called "Pack at the Track". One of his guests was Nick Zito who had just won his 1st Kentucky Derby. He said, "Nick, now that you've won the big one, if you ever drop dead of a heart attack in some bus station, the next day's headline will read, "Derby winner found dead". Gotta love his sense of humor.

Pack at the Track was over 15 years in the rear view mirror when Nick won the Derby with Strike the Gold. That was likely Thoroughbred Weekly, the dark day show on Sportschannel. Pack at the Track was a radio spot where he recreated race calls.

Thank you Harvey
I loved his shows at Siro's. I had so many good times and great laughs thanks to Harvey. I feel fortunate that I was able to go many times . It was a special place. I'm grateful to him and also TLG for the fond memories.
