He said that he couldn’t top that and had a great day mingling with all the fans the rest of the day. He was beloved in Boston for sure. My favorite thoroughbred action with Harvey Pack show was 8/9/96 for sure. Rest In Peace to a great man who was so great for the sport.

26 years ago today, great show with Harvey Pack. 27 years ago today, Jerry passed away.

Watching the morning workouts and a walk over to Siro's for the seminar.

Those hours were some of the best. How could you not love the game more.

Did anyone ever tape the Siro's shows where we could see them now?

I could sit and watch them again. What joy!
