Yup, that's OG, Jerry Brown. And I was the first guy to put up a fifty for
GOLDEN TENT. The board people saved that gallant old horse and Gary Contessa claimed him for us out of a bottom claimer at Philly Park. A friend of Shammy took in the steed out on Long Island and he was placed in a retirement home (upstate I think). And then he died eight days later of natural causes.
No good deed goes unpunished. On a visit to see
GOLDEN TENT one early morning when I had the DRF for a day at Aqueduct I was feeding him some carrots on the horse farm in eastern Suffolk County.
