Video Quality isn't good, as it was taken from a 27-year-old video tape just to preserve something. YouTube presents it relatively well though!

Hopefully somebody somewhere is caused to rekindle old memories!!

Thank you so much for posting this, it is wonderful to see playfair on youtube. I have old videos somewhere from '86-87 (the old "The Clubhouse Turn" replay show, I may have to find them now ;) And Todd Stephens outgrew being able to ride after 1987 and became a trainer for awhile. I was a fan of his too and we had the same french teacher in junior high, albeit at different times, he was several years before me

What ever happened to Todd Stevens a very sucessful jockey at Playfair in the 80S

Oh yes, this definitely rekindled some fond memories for me. Until recently, Norm Amundson was the racing secretary at Sunland Park, and he is currently serving as a steward here in New Mexico.
