I certainly didn't mention Colonial Downs with the intention of anyone looking serously at it. you'd have have a suicide bent to get involved in a track today or have put a couple of dollars on the west virginia mountain man's horse yesterday. I'm just long-time horse player who began running 'green sheets" for a Bronx bookie when I was eight. My work took my over the world for more than 30 years and I guess I've played almost every track from UK to Kenya, even having suffered the betal juice spitters in New Dehli. In riffling through this thread, many memories come back to me. Mr. Boller mentioned Allen Drumheller from wonderful Longacres in Seattle, where I hit a Canadian, Little Rollo, at 30-1 in the Longacres Derby many many years ago. I still look closely at Canadian shippers, in fact, at Laurel and Pimlico where I now sit occasionally way up in the grandstand with the other old cockers. As for ownership, I only became a part-owner in my dotage. My kids decided to give me what I always wanted but never had the time--nor the money, in fact, it going for three college tuitions and grad schools for them. They pitched in bought me a piece of a Mountain Cat colt (by Sharp Cat), half brother to Classic Cat and many another good Cat. One promising maiden run at Belmont, fourth of 10 in well-bred company and closing fast. He needs a distance, which he'll get in Florida this winter. We'll see.
