On This Day …
– “On this day in 1936, Tom Smith, an experienced horse trainer, spied an unlikely looking three-year-old Thoroughbred on the track at East Boston’s Suffolk Downs.” [Thanks to our friend Bill for the link.]
– Trainer John Rigattieri “is on a winning streak not seen at Suffolk Downs since John F. Kennedy was known only as a Harvard student.” The trainer kept the streak alive on Saturday with one win, on Monday with two, on Tuesday with another two, and on Wednesday with an impressive four wins out of the day’s nine races.
