By far the best Thread I have ever read on the net. I lived in the area most of my life but was just a kid during that time. My Dad tells me he knew Cornbread Red but only through dad's first cousin Andy Manning. Andy was suppose to be a great player? Another family member that I am told that frequented the rack was Charles "stud" Roberts he was a good shot but spent most of his time betting on the side. Anyone ever heard of Andy or Stud?
My dad and Uncle said Whitey was sitting in the middle of the road outside Hazel Park because he had won $20,000 at the rack the night before and lost it all on the ponies that day and was flat broke.
