You would always get a call before the 1/4 marker most of the time but certainly before the 1/2 marker....every horse in the race was accounted for....owners demand at least that.....Tony always gave you that.
That is highly rare for a half mile track short stretch...the best one I ever saw was Dream Of Glory and Joe O'Brien come from 8th at the top of the stretch to win the Challenge Cup at Roosevelt over the world's best trotters at 1 1/2 miles...Peace Corps also once made an incredible comeback at Yonkers....
