This is week #2 of our review of highlights from the late Kenny Hendricks’ career at Assiniboia Downs.  On October 8, 1978 Merry’s Jay scored an upset win over heavily favoured Island Fling in the 21st Running of the Gold Cup. It was Hank’s third win in the classic and a race that he would go on to win a record-setting seven times (Gerry Hart photo)
