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.

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

Fairmount1: 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.
