SC Rewind: Picture Parade

This week's Rewind is the monthly feature titled Picture Parade.  In somewhat of a departure from a central theme,  the current group of pictures are chosen for their diverse nature.  Each one deals with a harness racing person,  place or happening.  Hope you enjoy looking at bits and pieces of the sport's past.  

#1 - Can you recognize these two well-known personalities? 

#2 - These two gentlemen hail from the U.S. but they are both pretty well known in Canada as well and probably recognizable.  Can you put a name on them?  

#3 - This very good photo goes back a ways but the subject driver should be recognized by many in the viewing audience. Who is he?

#4 - Can you identify this very well known driver?  He was no stranger to the winner's circle.  

#5 - Who can figure out at which track was this action shot taken?  Pretty snazzy starting car! 

#6 - Who is this fellow?  He is no longer with us but he was a very well-known horseman in his day.  

#7 - Can you put a name on this fellow holding a trophy? The farther east you live might be an advantage on this one.  

​

#8 - I don't too often include caricatures but I liked this one.  This man won just one Hambletonian and at the time he was the youngest driver to win that prestigious race.  Can you figure out who he is? 

#9 - A mere 48 years have passed since this was taken but these two lads should still be in a lot of memory banks.  The young fellow on the right is still in the game.  The two fellows in the middle were reps from Molson's Brewery. 

#10 - Who are these two lads, perhaps engaging in a little fun at the track? 

Quote For The Week: "Why are most hurricanes named after females? Answer: Simple, did you ever hear of a himmicane?"

Blast From The Past 

Back when dog racing was a popular attraction in Florida (my wife and I went there on our honeymoon) the harness racing publicity folks had to try and coax people to come to see the pacers and trotters.  I believe at one time there were at least a dozen dog tracks in the State but I don't think there are any left now.
