I have a vague memory of Chariot Races at Suffolk Downs when Veeck managed it.

He also raced Ostriches at Suffolk Downs.. That I don't recall but its true because I saw photographs

He also was the force behind a law change that to allowed children to attend racetracks. . 1st in the nation I believe. Mid 1960's.

I have no idea what made me think of this, but when I list the tracks I've been to I always forget to add Foxboro. I went once back in the mid 80s. Surely you very there a time or a 100, right?

Good interview with JK, never really listened to him at length before but took the opportunity this week. I like no BS kind of people which is in short supply these days, he strikes me as being totally that way.

TD Thornton. His dad was a trainer, Paul. Touchdown Stable. He took over as a Track announcer after Larry Collmus left. Collmus had replaced the mighty Jim Hannon. Hannon, who was outstanding, passed away earlier this year.
