Just finished watching this video. I can't put into words the enjoyment I get from your videos. I was at Yonkers/ Roosevelt from about 1975 thru 1984. For those years, I blew my allowance ( 16 in 1975), and then my salary every Friday night. Very rarely did I go on Saturday night because I was broke. Still, I look at those as fabulous times. In occasion, I bet a horse but don't gamble the way I used to Larry, I absolutely love your videos and I think bringing on guests will make your show more entertaining. They can expand on your stories which will be fun to watch. If I could change one thing, I wish your videos were longer but I'll take whatever I can get. Your videos will be longer with guests. Keep up the good work! Thank you for putting a smile on my face with your videos.
I used to drive past Oleg Cassini's Estate in Oyster Bay, Long Island 🏝. In the mid 1990s. He had like a big Metal sculpture with his initials if I remember correctly. I think I remember seeing a few horses behind the fence. Matt NYC
I know I never stop with the questions, but I'm captived by the stories...Morton Vinny, Super wealthy Jewish ✡ Businessman. Owned Thoroughbreds. Had a Farm on Northern Blvd, South side of the road around Oyster Bay too. He had a full size Chrome Sculpture of a Horse in action like halfway jumping up off the ground. Its still there till this day. I think most or all of the farm got developed in to luxury homes in early 2000s. Anyway, his "Big Horse" as we said on the Track was Jose Binn...he won some big stakes races in late 1970s early 1980s Angel Cordero up. Morton was very generous and loved to throw great Racetrack parties at The Farm. My parents went every year. His quests were given the best of everything and everyone left with a big Goody Bag 🎒. One year, they got a Nice Kodak Camera..."those were the days my friend..we thought they'd never end..." Matt NYC
What is the Difference between a Pacer & a Trotter? It's a different gait, right? Once a Yearling is broke, do they stay one way? Thanks Larry...You're an Encyclopedia of horses & life! Matt NYC
You should go on Coast to Coast AM with George Noorey. He owned and raced Harness Horses back in your day. You would be a natural guest ,he'd love your stories
@@LarryRolla Hello,The show is National show but in NEW JERSEY you can listen on Radio Stations WOND AM 1400 or WKIP 102.9 FM It starts at 1 AM til 6.00 AM He has some weird guests on sometimes but usually pretty interesting.
put debbie on the show.......would be great guest ......cant wait...................great stories .......loving it larrys great ...genuine guy , i can tell
I didn't like the Single Shaft for a number of reasons as did most drivers. One night at Monticello Benny Webster put me down to drive one of his horses . The horse was hooked to a Single Shaft. The horse won.
SPQR, an abbreviation for Senatus Populusque Romanus (Classical Latin: [s̠ɛˈnäːt̪ʊs̠ pɔpʊˈɫ̪ʊs̠kʷɛ roːˈmäːnʊs̠]; English: "The Roman Senate and People"; or more freely "The Senate and People of Rome"), is an emblematic abbreviated phrase referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic.
I remember John Miritello, I bought a horse from him privately named Moon Revelier and won several races with him. Herve won with him for me at Fhld in 1-1/2 race after making a break at the start and set a track record for that distance which for all I know still stands?? I was going to claim another horse from John but decided not to as John was a NYC cop which told me not to, lol. Lost track of ''Old Moonie" for a few years until he surfaced one day at Los ALimitos in LA. where I was at with my good buddy Tony Q. Tony bought him and he bowed a tendon while qualifying and that was it. I sure do miss that good horse. RIP Moon. Thx Larry for your pod casts, great stuff. As stated before we did cross paths several times but it seemed that you were always embroiled in some track or Racing Commission issues. I got a few stories of my own but couldn't warm up any of yours. Some day maybe I'll post the story of my horse 'Forever Trouble" and the "Pizza Connection" boys. As the Rolling Stones once sang "please to meet you, hope you guess my name" Can't wait for the next one!
God I wish the old man aka the boss was still around this year was embarassing in every way as a YANKEE FAN IT WOULDNT BE HAPPENING IF GEORGE WAS STILL AROUND GREAT SHOW MR ROLLA LOVE FROM TRENTON NJ
Larry listen to that Fanny poster. Coast to Coast with George Nory has been on for decades all over the country late night and being that he's a harness fan he just might put you on the air. Good luck to you.
Another Fabulous Story, wondeful enjoyable stories about real life only Larry can tell. That movie about his life will be an Academy Award Winner, get Scorsese are Levinson! Keep up the good work guys ! 👍😎👍🎯🌉🗽🌉🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🐎

Dr John was known as Mac and he was a tremendous talent And a very good friend RIP Mac Rabinowitz .
You're right, he was great. Sorry for your loss.

Looks to me like George escaped the harness world.
@@gino423 I think the Mafia was after him, he joined the Navy for some unknown reason
Thanks Larry and Jimmy!
I don't know George or the show. Where do I get the show?

Larry, Fanny is right, Goeorge Nory could really help get your story out to the masses. Coast to Coast has been on across the nation for decades.

Did you ever drive a Single Shaft sulky? I remember making a few bucks betting first time SS sulky until everyone caught on

What did "SPQR" stand for?
SPQR, an abbreviation for Senatus Populusque Romanus (Classical Latin: [s̠ɛˈnäːt̪ʊs̠ pɔpʊˈɫ̪ʊs̠kʷɛ roːˈmäːnʊs̠]; English: "The Roman Senate and People"; or more freely "The Senate and People of Rome"), is an emblematic abbreviated phrase referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic.
@@irenebertoniTHANK YOU! I'm still paying for not taking Latin in HS.
Larry..generally, what is the weight limit to be a Harness driver? Matt NYC
There is no weight limit. However, most of the top drivers today weight approximately 150 pounds.
S.P.Q.R.???? Never heard of that place? What did that stand for? Larry what kind of music/songs 🎶 did your favorite band play ? Matt NYC
The SPQR was an Italian restaurant on Mulberry Street in New York. It closed about 10 years ago. I loved all kinds of music.
Love your podcasts,just purchased you book …do you remember aJohn Miritello
