SC Rewind: O.S.S. Picture Parade

SC Rewind - OSS Picture Parade
Published: May 20, 2023 01:45 pm EDT

This week's Rewind is another monthly edition of 'Picture Parade'.  The theme of this offering is intended to coincide with not only the start up of the 2023 Ontario Sires Stakes season which begins this weekend, but also to recognize the 50th year of the program's existence.  Each of this week's pictures remembers a past competitor in the now famous and highly successful program.  If you choose to do so please send in your answers.  Included in today's Rewind is a Trivia Question that relates to O.S.S. history.  

A few of the pictures are from the earlier years dating back to 1974 the year it all started.  Most captions will be exactly the same.

Bonus Picture

Can you identify the driver of this horse? This colt was part of the 1974 season and was a successful competitor in several events placing third in money earnings for three-year-old trotters.  Can you name this fellow and maybe even the horse?

O.S.S. Trivia Question: As we begin the 50th year of the Ontario Sires Stakes program I am going to pose a question that hopefully someone ( r more than one person) in the reading audience can help find an answer.  Can you tell us if anyone has been involved in each and every year the series has been held.  This would mean from the 1974 season and with plans to be involved in the 2023 season.  This can include anyone with direct involvement such as an owner, trainer, driver, caretaker, blacksmith, judge,  etc.

Note: I do not have an answer for this as I am not at all certain that anyone has been involved all 50 years.
