An interesting book from The Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame in Goshen. I don't remember when they did this, but it is a nice piece with some very interesting stories/bios about many under the radar horsemen.

It's remarkable reading. My father knew Harold Snodgrass and he saw Highland Ellen race at Aurora Downs. Thank you very much for bringing back such sweet memories.

I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

A year or two prior to his passing, a friend of mine who had recently met Harold asked me to write to cheer him up.  Although his eyesight was failing, he had someone read him the letters and help him write back.  We exchanged a few letters and I loved hearing his stories about helping develop horses I admired such as Land Grant and Jimmy's Pilot.  Rest in peace, Mr. Snodgrass.

  • Trigger: Kirby you've called me many names, Blutarsky, Generation, Paul...you said I was Mike too, that I had multiple devices posting at the same time to throw off cover...nonsense aside, I make a nice offer, and you act like you have an inflamed hemmoroid!  I guess I'll have to come there and rescue you.

  • Trigger: Kirby, tell the wife next Thursday you'll be back Monday afternoon.  Forget the "black Kettle" and cup sip on an umbrella drink watching the hot tan trim, some racing, great food, and beach air.  Teen evening temperature in Delaware, you can do better!  Me & You Babe!  ;D
