On orders to Viet Nam, I drove from Ft Knox to Chicago for the '68 race. I had $100 and had to drive to NY the following day. As luck would have it, all $100 went straight win on The Doctor! That and seeing Secretariat on both ends of the Crown in '74 were my cherished memories that ran also to RoundTable at Arlington and Forego at Belmont. But thru it all, Dr Fager remains my favorite.

When I was a kid growing up outside Chicago, I assumed every racecaller in America said "and hear they come spinning out of the turn". <br/><br/>I've already bookmarked this blog. Keep up the good work. Sorry to pick a nit, but it was PHIL Goergeff on the call.
