On the Hoof Beats Web site, we asked you to identify the horse, people and date in the above photo. Thank you to all who responded. Here are some of the guesses:
Driver: Del Insko (3 votes), Bucky Day
Track: Washington Park (IL), Rockingham Park, Yonkers Raceway
Horse: Overtrick
I spoke with the reader who submitted this photo, Alice Szpila-Tisbert, and she said it's Splendid Splinter, with actress Sally Field in the bike, at Rockingham Park. The driver is "Butch" Tisbert, and the groom holding the horse is Bruce Aldrich. The date is still unknown. Thanks for playing!
