About the time Hank was here the Louisiana Derby took place and Dapper Delegate a horse owned by the Brown family who owned the Fair Grounds track here won this big stake race leading up to Derby…At the meeting of Corrington and Bukowski I was there but felt unable to keep up with the academic chit chat that ensued…”.
