One of the lowest scum bags of all time, on the levels of Bernie Madoff and Sam Bankman-Fried in a different time frame.

Brennan at Garden State Park was a real awful person but he built a beautiful facility. What a shame what happened there.

Most tracks for me are still around. But I think its hard to beat Lexington during the grand circuit meet. Race during the day, and the sales at night.  The whole town is buzzing. Similar to Saratoga now.

Tempted to say Monti, then Rosey, but  I dont want Historic Track during the real Grand Circuit to be forgotten. Thats when Haughton, Dancer and others would move horses into the open access stable area for races like the Titan Cup trot . For a fan not yet in the business, it was great! Saw Spartan hanover, mohanannon express, dream of glory. On the pacing side Columbia George, Truluck, Most Happy Fella.

Yes.  We used to live about 8 minutes away and from 1974 through its close we would sit in the clubhouse box on the finish line 3-4 nights/week (spiffed the seat seller good $$ to make sure they were always waiting for me.)  When they closed it down and were tearing it apart my wife went over there and purchased those two seats (and had the help of construction people delivering it to our house.)  We had those seats in our backyard till 2007 when we moved West, but would not have the room for them anymore.  When one of our horses was racing we made sure to be near the gate downstairs to not miss a photo opportunity if they won.

Since Monticello is presently in a coma, I loved this place in the 60s and 70s especially Saturday nights. Yes the drivers were playing a lot of games but the atmosphere was great. Even the town on Broadway was fun. Great deli and Chinese restaurants. You could have a leisurely dinner there because the first race went off close to 9:00 P.M.

Horrible what happened up there! The Jews years ago brought all the domestic help and they bred like rats. Now work place is full of shines. Real fucking shit hole.

    I had one of the green and white road signs that I donated to the Harness Museum for their Rosey exhibit a few years back

Garden State Park.

Loved the escalator ride to the upper floor and having a drink at the Libations bar. Miss that Crystal Paddock.

He is telling the truth tho. Jews ruined harness racing but I am not racist at all but just being honest. For me the Jews kill everything with their business acumen and me me me mentality to run everything into the ground and milk every last penny they can. It’s sad but true.
