At that time, I really loved the thrill of horse racing. Here's a pic of Sunday Silence getting ready to run in the Belmont Stakes. Below is a shot from the stands on the left, Secretariat's bronze in the paddock of Belmont, and Sunny's Halo at Saratoga.
If I had to make a suggestion on what I would like to see happen in this hobby, it would be to see it continue to grow and foster friendships both near and far - to see it continue to connect people all around the world with this similar love - a love of the equine.
