1979 Travers Stakes: CBS Broadcast [09:15]
Next to the Daily Racing Form listing of five of the seven starters in last Saturday's Travers Stakes at Saratoga was an asterisk indicating that those horses could handle a muddy track. The other two had no mud mark. When rain drenched the track, making the going difficult and tiring, bettors gave those marks and those non-marks considerable thought. They could have saved themselves the effort. One of the two without a mark was General Assembly, an enigmatic critter who went out and won the 110th Travers by 15 splashy lengths. The General has led a puzzling racing life, up one day and down the next. Racing fans adore him after one race and deride him after the next. Until last week's Travers he was known primarily as "Secretariat's best son," but that has meant very little because Secretariat has been anything but the sire he was expected to be when he was sent to stud after his stunning two years as a runner. Well, what General Assembly did in the Travers was stunning and more. He ran over a track rated "sloppy" in 2:00 for the 1� miles to set not only a stakes record but a track record as well, and Saratoga is the oldest track in the US, having opened its iron gates 116 years ago. The field the General left in his wake was the best group of 3-year-olds assembled since the Kentucky Derby.

Sr. Champ Onboard 9/16/12 - NHMS (Upper Track) / Feature Race Part 1 [07:13]
Onboard footage of Part 1 of the Sr. Champ Feature Race from New Hampshire Motor Speedway (Upper Track) in New Hampshire. The Feature Race was a 2 part race. There would be a 25 lap segment, then refueling for everybody, then a 25 lap finishing segment. I started on pole for the Feature Race and boy, the slipstream can either help you, or hurt you. I was able to run with James in the #24 kart and Dylan in the #24x kart to form a three kart pack to pull away from the others. Going downhill, I almost lost control of the kart, but managed to save it while drafting with Dylan in the #24x kart. James in the #24 kart got by me and he and Dyal were gone at that point. I had no choice but to ride around. After 25 laps, I was running in 3rd and would be there for the start of Part 2 of the Feature Race.
