  • 2/6/10 Northeast: Mighty Penn

    One of Mike Jester’s most vivid memories of an afternoon spent at the racetrack occurred April 14, 1977, a day he decided to visit Garden State Park in Cherry Hill, N.J. In mid-afternoon, after being invited into the second-story jockeys’ room by a friend, Jester noticed a haze in the air and the acrid smell of smoke. He alerted a security ...

They put up the money, they changed the distance, and in short they dangled one heckuva carrot in front of Jess Jackson and Jerry and Ann Moss.It all makes for great theater and great anticipation.
