Great pictures Dell, thanks! Miss Riley looks to be in good hands, who wouldn't want to be in your shoes. I don't recognize the fella with Mike Smith, who is it, please?

Trainer, Richard Baltas... one of the nicest guys at the race track! Interestingly, John Velazquez had security before & after every race. |

Ran across this (at the end they show a few buses lined up......I remember taking a commuter bus back in the late 70's that use to run thru Orange County that would pick up players and take them out to the track ($6 round trip)...everyone full of hopes,form in hand ride in....ride back was not as cheerful form in hand for the next day. The drivers use to pool a few bucks each (they had three routes around So Cal picking up players)...and one time they hit the pk 6 waiting for the return trip back...if memory serves me it was around $8,000....back then real money. Gloomy players, bus drivers wide smiles. |
