A couple of pictures that won’t mean much to you but are very special to me. The pony girl in this picture is Vicki Warhol. She rode the very first horse I ever owned in Winnipeg in 1980. I have a picture of Five Star Sally and Vicki hanging in my rec room today. Attachments:

Finally this is Milo Trejo who was leading trainer at Assiniboia Downs in the late 70’s and early 80’s. He is in his late seventies and we spent 15 minutes talking about the old days at ASD. He is sharp as a whip and remembered lots of names from the days when I was just a kid getting started. Attachments:

Would be remiss to not mention that the race caller at TuP, Robert Fox Jr., is a very good race caller. He does a great job of spotting the rallying horse that is live. Also while watching races without my binoculars I found myself listening to his call to know just what was going on.

Once we got past the Fokker or whatever the Fokker it was we stepped back into a world where the races really meant something. Not many pics today but here is one before the races started. Attachments:

Absolute delight to meet up with timsar70 to watch the 5th. Spent a nice time chatting about what race fans have in common and I learned a lot about Oaklawn’s storied history. If anyone else from UIC ever gets out here I recommend some time with Tim. Hail fellow, well met. Attachments:

As far as the races today went, I feel like I should have made a bunch with 2 McKnight winners and 1 Diodoro but Small Mac made me stop at some hole in the wall on the way back to the hotel where I got excited about Woodbine harness and Delta. Let’s call it even for the day.

I agent seen many over the years tha5 take my breath away but Taraz is an absolute monster. She is an absolutely gorgeous filly and I will be amazed if she doesn’t roll thru the 3YO filly division. She is gorgeous. Attachments:
