Eclipsed 245 Report post Posted October 21, 2020 Still have a few clippings from ‘The Press’ when racing used to hold a full page spread in the Monday edition. We’d been lucky enough to have share in a filly who won the Leonard Memorial. Jeff’s headline “Charles scores an ace with Nero’s Choice” summed up well our late trainer’s first ever success as a trainer in this Group 3 race.Steve Charles had been a golf pro before he got into training Standardbreds so Jeff’s headline was apt. Jeff was a really nice guy who did a top job. JJ Flash 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
