Pena races in PA, had/has multiple beards. Didn't Lou have 3 in some races years ago at Yonkers?
PA is the wild west. They are a joke. The joke in the business is, get thrown out of everywhere else, and you can go to PA. Everybody knows the Pena debacle. Whether it's the Al Capone thing or not, whatever they ended up getting him for, the business and sport was better off without him. While I won't speak ill of the dead, nor a friend who I knew for over 40 years, I absolutely, positively, could not disagree more with Ron Gurfein, his original position on Pena, and what he wrote about Pena. We had more than one heated debate on it. In the end what Gurfein wrote about and what he really felt were two different things.
