Trot: You do realize that you are talking to a countryman? Avelino and I were both born in Havana, except he showed up 26 years before me. 24% win rate and 4081 races won up at Woodbine. I was not into racing when the accident that took him occurred in the 1980 Canadian Oaks.
The Avelino Gomez Memorial Award is still given out - Ransammy won it last year. There is a life size statue of him at Woodbine. Ted has probably seen it.
