There are so many drivers from the 70’s I would like updates. We all pretty much know about drivers that regularly drove at YR, RR and the Big M. But what about the minions from MR, FHLD, Brandy and Liberty Bell? Just to ask about a few…Marvin Maker, Bill Bresnahan, Syl Decample, George Sziklai..he changed his last name years ago. Or anyone else from the Golden Years of harness racing.
. Sly was also a boxer.  Marvin was a great guy.

You know everybody Fuguzzi.  Was there a Cory Garafalo at Meadowlands in the late 80s or am I confusing him with Carl who got popped for drug stuff a few years ago? For reference Mike Loreto was Garafalo's 2nd trainer and Jersey Joe Schwind drove for them most of the time.
Carl was a good guy. He was also hooked up with Bobby Bonjournao

If you lived in northern nj you knew sid allen’s restaurant. As far as Jack Quinn I always found him impossible to bet. I never knew him but if I bet him he never came close. I gave up on him.

Niatross’ groom was Marie Carson (now Gill).

She’s now a vet in Pennsylvania

George was heavy ., Very nice guy and good horseman.. His son Roy also
drove in the 60's at Monti but smartly he went on to become a successful veterinarian

Bresnhan's father owned the Freehold dairy in the early seventies when Billy and Bobby got started in the horse business.
