Student Hits Big Payoff at Roosevelt Raceway
Robert Froner, a 22 year old Brooklyn architect draftsman, won the biggest payoff in TD history at Roosevelt Raceway. Riding with his wife of four months, in-laws, and two friends in a 1956 Oldsmobile, he hit $172,726.80 after betting the last two races. He credited his father in law’s advice and spread tickets across the eighth and ninth races, saying he wheeled six horses in the eighth race and seven in the ninth.
