But...No I have never been to the track at Sallisaw. But I have met the man who founded Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico. It is the largest quarter horse track in the world and has all of the top championship quater horse races there. Some of the top quarter horses come from OK. I once owned a quarter horse mare whose father was Impressive. Impressive set the standard for the modern day quarter horses.

Back in Oklahoma it is the quarter horse. Have you ever been to the race in Sallisaw?Glen Lazalierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202758035423138294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709698839135404853.post-31224944765082519972009-05-09T11:33:00.000-05:002009-05-09T11:33:00.000-05:00I have always been in love with the thoroughbreds....I have always been in love with the thoroughbreds. When I was in high school I kept a scrap book with pictures and writups of the current champions. My biggie was Native Dancer who was the top two year old at the time. The Kentucky Derby is the only big time race he didn't win and he lost it by a nose to Dark Star. Native Dancer went on to be a great champion and a great breeding stallion.

I've been to media day at Louisiana Downs in Shreveport and went back one other time to watch the races. I did some betting, but my knowledge was limited. I never went back again, nor do I plan to go again. Sorta like golf with me. If I can't do it and be any good, I don't try. It's too frustrating. If you enjoy it, you'll go back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
