Answer 4

I am from Florida, at the moment I am living overseas and am retired from racing for about 20 years. I raced all over the east coast and have raced AT Suffolk Downs and I did ship one horse to the Northampton Fair Grounds, And once was enough for me. I liked the fairs to go and watch, but never had horses that belonged there. I think it was the summer's of 1984, 5 and 6 that I was racing at Suffolk's.

Although most of my days I raced in  South Florida, in the summer I would either ship up north or lay off completely, it was just too hot to train and run in Fl.
