?Magnolia Park?

[Meadow Ford]

Is Magnolia Park a real race track?
Did I just make it up?
Did they race Dogs, Tbreds or Harness?
If so, when?
Where is it?

1.  It was so you didn't make it up.
2.  They tried harness in 1954 .. it didn't take. they renamed it Jefferson Downs it and it went to Tbreds before burning down.  John Henry won his maiden there in 1977
It started in Metairie Louisiana and ended up in Kenner a suburb of New Orleans.

Wasn't easy to find this stuff either. 

I have a crapload of 1916 American Breeders standardbred magazines.  I could probably find some super hard to answer questions if I'm in the mood to waste some time.

Corey Lanerie won the last race ever there on 11/22/92.  Long career for Lanerie

Try me.
Softball question first.

Check back in a few days,  maybe I'll find something interesting that has a name or maybe connections today.

How about Southern Park? Real track but can you tell me where and when it was active....

[The Thorn]

Try me.
Softball question first.

This isin't from that far back but I saw something interesting that probably is a bit harder than softball ... but lets see.

Who was the first stallion that had his semen collected artificially?

Just a wild guess.
I guess it would be a major KY. farm.
Lets go with Castleton Farm and Bret Hanover.

Nope, earlier.  Don't remember where he stood but here's a hint on who.  You have a connection to this horse which I didn't realize until after I wrote it. (Not a physical one but a connection none the less)

You got me!
I have a connection you say.
Meadow Ford was a Tar Heel. Maybe Tar Heel?.
Meadow Ford was bred by Del Miller. Sounds like something Del Miller would promote.
Maybe Adios?
Henry T Adios was an answer to one of my trivia questions.
Maybe it was him?
I am trying to think off other connections.

[The Thorn]

You are getting there.   Not Adios or one of his sons ... But related to him.

[Meadow Ford]

hal dale

[The Thorn]

That's the connection.  But not him. 

Will give you a give away hint if you still can't figure it out. 

One more hint before that one which may or may not help .. I found the info on comments on the pedigree beta database I told everyone about.

I think you saw it but there is a link here in the nostalgia section as I thought that is something that should be preserved and it will go away quick on the main pages. I think it already did and is on the second page now.

You got me
