Big Stan Snedigar Shaping Ruidoso Downs Run 1966
Stan Snedigar, 6-4, 220 pounds, becomes executive secretary of the Ruidoso Downs Racing Association and part of a three man board guiding the track in 1966. He aims to push the All American Futurity toward the $1,000,000 mark within a decade and sees Rainbow Futurity and Derby rising in prestige and purse. Snedigar, a breeder owner and trainer, helped push a $1000 minimum purse for 1966, down from past levels, and envisions track expansion to six furlongs as interest in quality stock grows. He recalls buying Three Bars in 1944 for $2,000 and selling him for $10,000, underscoring his long impact on quarter horse racing.
