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: Next Saturday's Lexingto Stakes is the last derby prep, so few points in 20 to the winner that the only horse it could help is Confessional, if he wins and and at least 3 horses scratch out of the derby too - YIKES!  ;D

  • Trigger: Be the smart guy in the room if you hate her driving, don't bet her or don't bet her and the track.  Though, she's 19% winning on pacers, 14% winning on trotters, 29% winning roi at the BigM and 26% at all tracks.  Seriously dude!  ngc3
