Thats right   looked like a wooden ship, remember?   then there was a place further up central avenue called Mt. Parnease   waitresses were always nasty   lol

I think the diner up central avenue is Mt Olympos. Its adjacent to Charles Oakley's car wash.

Johnny's was a few feet down the road and you also had The Jade about 1 mile going west.  ;D

If you went to Roosevelt, you have surely been to Gam Wah.

Old Guy got the Jimmy Cruise horse correct, It was Frank T Ace

While speaking of Monti, who knew Ricky Kurtz, John Conti, or Jerry Silverman?

In 1975 Buddy Gilmour's lawsuit against Roosevelt and Yonkers Raceways:  Two strangers, in the closing minutes that the betting window was open, had placed an unusually large bet of $5,000 on the exacta combination of "1" and "5", the numbers of the horses driven by Gilmour and McNutt, and immediately after the race collected between $28,000 and $32,000 on the winning combination and then disappeared. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/405/458/1432740/

Ricky Kurtz used to have a bilboard advertisement getting into the monticello area. He also had a picture when he broke the bike seat while jumping up and down finishing a race. Orange colors.
