Remember the Green, Red and Black sheets they use to sell at the Chicagoland race tracks?

The Green Sheet was the Illinois Sport News.  My aunt worked there.  Whenever we were going to the track, she would bring us free copies and press passes.   I always preferred getting a real program and making my own picks.

Wasn't a gentleman by the name of Tom Kelly the publisher?

Used to go to Laurel, Bowie and Pimlico Racecourse with a dear old friend (RIP) and he only bought a tip sheet for his picks. Every Saturday you could find us there. Mostly broke!
Back by popular demand!
