SC:

   Great story about D Wayne...

   
   In your list of attractive and competent women who have made a career in Racing, you neglected to mention the woman who may have opened the door for all who followed...

   In the early 1970s, when the first NYC OTBs were opening, none of the OTBs carried the live picture. Each Saturday, however, Channel 9 carried the feature(8th) race and 9th race from whatever NY track was open. Your hosts: Frank Wright and Charlsie Cantey.

   Charlsie Cantey parlayed those Channel 9 appearances into a career in front of the cameras for Racing\'s biggest days. She was always gracious when the buffoons and talking heads who had nowhere near her knowledge of Racing were given more on air time.

   Retired now, having aged only imperceptibly, she is currently heard as the very distinct voice narrating the Claiborne Farm stallion TV spots.

A classy lady. Your post brings back great memories.

Speaking of talking heads. If anyone watched the ESPN coverage of the Yellow Ribbon on Saturday, you heard the MOTOs (Masters of the Obvious) describe how Pat Valenzuela was attempting to relax the Drysdale filly (LIVE LIFE?) and that he had been intefered with on the final turn by BOND DEAL.

Both times they had to be corrected by Jerry Bailey who countered with the fact that Valenzuela had taken his mount out of her game and that the filly did not corner well as opposed to being interfered with.

If you missed it,don\'t fret. You get another dose of Mayne and Moss this Saturday.


Good Luck,
Joe B.

Agree Richiebee. She was/is attractive and classy.

Two others that I absolutely forgot to mention and intended to are:

Millie Ball
Kristine Olivares


Both of them are a couple of screensavers.

Give me the Beulah twins and an ounce of hippie lettuce and try to take the smile off my face.
