SC Rewind: Picture Parade

In this week's 'Rewind' Robert Smith has a group of pictures related to two different subjects as this month's version of Picture Parade. Earlier this month two special days were observed and the pictures he has chosen relate to either Valentine's Day (Feb. 14th) or Family Day (Feb. 17th). The reading audience is asked to identify as many people as you can, or at least provide a last name for each photo, all of which relate to people or families involved in the sport.

#1 - Can you identify the family in this photo?

#2 - Can you identify this couple in the old photo? The lady on the far right is presenting a trophy so not a family member.

#3 - Can you identify the family members in this photo?

#4 - Can you identify this couple in the old photo?

#5 - Can you identify the family in this photo?

#6 - Can you identify this couple in the old photo?

#7 - Can you identify the family in this photo?

#8 - Can you identify the couple in the middle of this rather old photo? They were married for at least 60 years and I can recall my wife and I being in attendance at their 60th which was combined with this gentleman's 90th birthday. Through several generations this couple's family have owned, trained and raced a number of very good horses. I decided to leave the two gentlemen at each end as they are both well known and remembered in racing circles. Include them if you wish.

#9 - Can you identify the  family in this photo?

#10 - Can you identify the couple in this photo?

(The correct answers will be posted here by Robert as a comment in a few days.)

Blast From The Past

This vintage photo of a racing family is probably a bit old to include in the "guessing" portion of today's Rewind but certainly worthy of inclusion.

The Fleming Family in a morning training session at Syracuse, N.Y.

A piece in the June 1938 issue of Hoof Beats read "Rarely does it occur that four members of the two minute list are grouped in speed alignment, and when such a quartet is found with a father and three sons as drivers, the occasion is novel, indeed. Such a situation is presented above, where the famous reinsman, Vic Fleming, with three of his sons, are presented up behind four horses of the select two minute roster. The place is the wet-weather track at Syracuse, N.Y., where the Fleming stable is in training, and the identity, reading from left to right, is as follows: Peter Song 2:00, Charles Fleming up; Dillon Hall, p, 2:00, Jimmy Fleming up; Calumet Evelyn 1:59 1/2 (p, 1:59 1/4), Vic Fleming up; Billy Direct, p, 3, 1:58, 'Bill' Fleming up."

The Fleming family were originally from Dundas, Ont.
