when i was out there, norman duplaise won the dygert back to back years with mickey rodney and delmonico hanover.

jeff peine had a nice trotter back then named chad r carlton

Chad E Carlton. And I believe he was pacing bred.

im very, very old luc buddy. shaky lou was holding horses heads in the winners circle, and rubbing sir dalrae for jim dennis,  roger davino was pimpin on the backside and ralphie thought he was a driver.

thats why i laugh at some of these guys here that think they've been around.

And Tim Wheeler (Jim Dennis step-son I was told) thought he could actually drive. Yes, there are some old timers still around. Saw my first harness race in 1963 at Washington Park. It was a thrill to see Ralph Baldwin bring his great trotters to Chicago. But there is a story about Baldwin not being too happy on one trip to Ill.

 And we wonder why the sport is still stuck in 1975.  All these old cheatin fuckwads from them are still around.  You guys cheated the fuck out of the betting CUSTOMERS, and they stopped going to the track.... PERIOD

They still stable at the track in Illinois?  What a bunch of hillbilly amateurs.  Keep your nags on the farm, let them run free instead of caged up in the slums of chicago.  Assholes.  Plus it's much easier to follow the EPO regimen on the farm.
