He was brilliant in the mid 90's. Hard knocking, game old campaigner. He raced almost exclusively on the NYRA circuit.

Many should remember, some who dont are missing out.

Why don't you call that show where the guy yelled at you for asking about some other game old campaigner, they may remember him...lol j/k...

That was Nick Kling and the horse I was asking about was Iron Gavel. He was a real beaut in the 90's. Horse gave you everything he had every time. I dont blame Nick for being a little suspicious, the guy gets crank calls very often. Nice guy and very knowledgable about the sport, but very little sense of humor.

I love reminiscing about old horses. NYRA in the 90's was an awesome thing.

Corma ray was a NY bred with every high speed. I believe he started out with Tim Hills but I may be mistaken on that one.
He was extremely fast, thats for sure.

Yes he was trained by Tim Hills. Ridden by Jorge Chavez in his biggest wins, and also Mike Smith.
