Always a hightlight of the meeting for me since the days of the great stayers of the 70's and early 80s. Yeats recreated that era recently.

Footage from Bay Meadows shot on December 26, 1985 [11:21]
Here is some footage from Bay Meadows Racecourse my father shot with the family camcorder in the mid 1980s. The opening exterior shot was filmed in the spring or summer of 1984, while the racing footage was filmed on December 26, 1985. Jockeys mentioned in this video include Hall of Famer Russell Baze (then 27-years-old), Vicki Aragon (now Vicki Baze after marrying Russell's cousin, Gary), Chad Schvaneveldt, Ken Tohill, and retired riders Roberto Gonzalez, Chris Lamance, and Tom Chapman. Miss Chanago, the filly who won the $17000 allowance feature that day and who was described by father described as a "damn nice horse," was ridden by Marco Castaneda for Bill Morey, Jr. It'd be her final career start. John Gibson was the track announcer.

It started life in the 1960s...alternated between harness and thoroughbred racing in the 70s...attracted crowds of loyal fans throughout the 80s and 90s...and added casino excitement and most recently, prestigious national events like the Breeders Crown to what some people say is the nation's best track to race on. In this clip from the TV show 'PA HarnessWeek', we take a look back at the track's storied history through vintage photos and videos plus interviews from champion trainer Sam Beegle, leading driver George Napolitano, Jr, track officials like announcer Jim Beviglia and longtime publicist John Zimich.
