![]() I have been following this horse (thankfully not betting on him) since Contessa had him a few years ago. He is interesting because he runs for a trainer that only has him as his only horse. Together they have been able to "pay the rent" running over his head and collecting the (larger) small prizes at this condition. I follow just to see if and when this horse might drop to an appropriate level..Seems to be the quintessential "hobby horse"?

Perhaps they can write a race restricted to horses foaled in the state of NY who are also inelidgible to ever be NY Breds. I'll take Freddy Mo in a walkover. |

I have a program from May 19th, 1956. Ascot Park, between Akron and Cleveland, closed in 1966 when purchased by Eddie DeBartolo. May 19th was the running of the "Ascot Gold Cup Handicap" at two miles. The program has an ad for: NEXT SATURDAY Final Day of the 1956 Meeting Gray Ghost Handicap $3,000.....SIX and 1/2 FURLONGS For Gray and Roan Horses An aside, James Clemens, Norman Hart and Gail Parker were neck and neck for the meet riding title on that day. P. Maxwell was by far the leading trainer, with H. Jolley a distant 3rd. And a further aside, the guy who had this program had 3 tickets on the daily double at $63.20 for a nice $189.60 1956 dollar score. I bought the program on eBay. |

Thanks for posting. Now it would be harder to find the 2 mile race over the gray and roan race. |
