Title: Thoro-Graph in the Backyard at Saratoga on Travers Day '16
Post by: nicely nicely on August 30, 2016, 02:20:47 PM
A Happy Crew

Let\'s introduce some people--puts faces to names, monickers whatever--upper left--Fairmount1 (richie), upper center--FrankD (frank), upper right seated--Sean (sean), front row (all seated)--right--TGAB (alan), Uncle Bill (bill), left--Belmont3 (bob).


It was a beautiful Travers day--track fast, turf firm, weather warm but not too humid (no excuses). We\'re in the backyard behind the carousel--48,000 or so people, lots of people seeing top notch racing.

Ya can\'t tell the players without a TG score card.

Bottom Row L-R  Belmont 3, Uncle Bill, TGAB

Back   Row L-R  Fairmount, Frank D, Sean D.

There was a version with Michael D & Mathcapper as well included, well if you ever saw those guys you can\'t blame the editor!!!

I hadn\'t seen the named version added later by nicely, nicely

Nicely Nicely put up the photo but I identified the people shown. Don\'t have a photo including Mathcapper (Rocky) and Michael D.

Sent now.

Two interesting notes on the photos.

In the first, did anyone catch the persuasion of Uncle Bill\'s nutrition program?  Belmont3 changed his habits quick and went for the salad?

And, Mathcapper in the yet to be published picture is on the phone making all of his wagers presumably.

as bad as we look, I think it\'s Uncle Bill\'s apparent death that kept the pics from going public.
