What's the last Grade 1 to be run as a Non-Wagering Exhibition at a NYRA track? Who won it?

That sprint on Fourth of July weekend used to be a big event at Finger Lakes.

Here's one about Groovy.....he finished second in the second division of a split Gotham ( I think it was split ) in 1986 only to be disqualified. Who was the easy winner and what fradulent big race winner was placed second?

Man, I remember that race, the winner himself was fraudulent!!! It was Mogambo always touted highly and trained by Jolley and owned by Brant I think.
Geez, the 2nd place horse was fraudulent as well?
Geez. I mean the Derby was won by Ferdinand that year and the Preak by SNow Chief, the Belmont by Danzig Connection. But I dont think Danzig Connection was in the Gotham because he got a VERY late start that year and barely made the belmont. Travers was won by Wise Times, but i don't think he was in the Gotham either. Hmm. The BC the previous year was won by Tasso, I know he lost in the Wood, it was the first Wood I ever went to. but I don't recall him in the Gotham.
WHo was it?

It was the race that got cancelled when the trees went down I think at saratoga in 1988. They ran it the next day as an exhibition I think. Roses Cantina, Leroy Jolley, forget the owner, but wore purple silks, definitely purple silks. K mart sucks, I'm an excellent driver.

The John Morris, in 1988, and some Leroy Jolley horse won. Her name escapes me right now but I think she had green and purple silks.

Rose's Cantina?

That's a good guess, but it was more recent than that....

It was Tasso.

You're right...it was the Beldame ( I think over the Ruffian ) and Heavenly Prize won!

On a rainy day at saratoga in 1994 two female jockeys combined to win 7 races on the card. Julie Krone won 4, who was the other female jockey who won the other three races?

Back then it seemed that horses ran more often and later in age, especially the cheaper claimers. Won a lot of money with the OSB "hot pink & black" silks!

How 'bout old Shify Sheik almost beating Slew O Gold out of the bonus for the Fall Series at Belmont! That was Oscar at his best.
