ernie raced for a time in Canada......he had a picture of a spruce tree on the back of his driver/trainer suit,,,,you couldn,t miss him
Pierce worked for him I think
Wasn't Teddy Wing the leading driver in 1976?
Bregman Hanover was a real good horse in his day. Probably made 500K. Another free legged horse Ernie Spruce had was Brigadier General.
Ron or his father Don?
I was there as well and have the program too. It was mobbed and Rambling Willie won the feature in 1:55:3 I believe that night. Someone is selling it on eBay for 119.00. I did not know it was worth that.
He fled Foxboro and their 5000.00 invitationals and arrived with Ripping Chief and another horse to drive. I will catch drive here. I know I am as good as these legendary stalwarts from around here. He later became a God at Yonkers.
Man are you bringing up memories Mike! I think Ernie also had Southern Sam who would kick the jog cart to pieces.
