Default A sad day

It will be a sad day for me when it closes...in 1973 and 1974 i don't think i missed more than 3 or 4 days of racing...there was a couple old guys waiting at the peace bridge every day waving there racing forms and hoping for a ride, i always picked them up and they would give me the quarter for the toll.
Sandy Hawley was the top jock, and Jeffry Fell was the top apprentice in those days..
I don't get there as much as i used to, but go when i can, and will miss it for all time...
