Ist ever " Track Trivia"
 

Hello to all fellow handicappers & horse lovers..

Here is were I will post daily around (6:00pm) a Track Trivia question for all to attempt to answer. Answer quickly to see if you can reply with the correct answer FIRST!! There is no prize other than the fact you KNOW your horses and are on top of your game and have bragging rights to post back for all to read your reply! I will name the correct response at the beginning of the next Track Trivia post.

A little history about me... I grew up in Saratoga Springs in the late 60's andsd all of the 70's. I have some of the great ones in my day. I currently live just outside the city and am a regular on the backstretch or Oklahoma training track across the street.

Lets get started and Good Luck!

My father walked his horse directly behind the great Whirlaway from the train station in Saratoga to the current Saratoga track. With the recent running of the Whirlaway this past weekend answer me this:

Were did Whirlaway begin his three year old season? Name the:
Date, Year, distance & Track.


Best of Luck..... Tony Clifton

Hialeah.. 2/8/41.. ALW$1.5k.. 6f..

Yes, but were you there?

"I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too."

OK, I got that film reference ( The Grapes of Wrath - Henry Fonda ).

It wasn't particularly amusing.

Not meant to be.. One of my favorites.. "Tom Joad" and from 1941.. like Whirlaway's great 3yo season..

gald you got it...the under-educated around here (me) figured it was a line from Batman:rolleyes:

Everyone can't be as erudite as Steve.

That earns an avatar change from me for a day...

Jeez, I thought Steve was doing a Jesse Jackson inpersonation!?!?

By the way, Steve you really should give us normal people a chance to Google. Your faster that Google!

The IDEAL in erudition.. And my goal..
 

lest you think I'm a total know nothing...I have actually seen the movie (although I prefer the book;) )

sorry i missed the movie reference, its number two on my all time list.
ma joad;
"Rich fellas come up an' they die, an' their kids ain't no good an' they die out. But we keep a'comin'. We're the people that live. They can't wipe us out; they can't lick us. We'll go on forever, Pa, 'cause we're the people"

grapes of wrath is a good book, but i prefer east of eden.

God, what a handsome devil. And with an irresistable charm and style that you just don't see in the movies today. My man Asta!

Mr Byk is quick
 

Nice job Steve but trust me the waters will get deeper as we move forward. For tomorrow's Track Trivia hint............ Past Horses of the Year?


Yours Truly...Tony Clifton
