Although only 15 years ago, I remember the old school parimutuel windows out of a 1930- 1940's movie set. Also the time before the racino. Del park is a gem and thanks for stirring up her old but forward looking bones! Thundering Emilia is my pick for this Saturday's DelCap! So good to see the history of Delaware Park.

I wish I had seen this before I wrote my recent Delaware Handicap story. Excellent post, you’ve got some really great information packed in here.

I got a little starry eyed when I learned that it was devoted entirely to horse racing history, with primary sources and everything. Makes a history geek like me smile.

Being immensely partial to the storied races of my native Paumanok, I knew little of this race, so I very much appreciate this chapter. I so love the photo of the aftermath of the '57 running that I am using it for my desktop background. Look at those ominous clouds. So dramatic and evocative of a time in horse racing that to me seems like it was akin to "The Golden Age of Pericles". What a time it must have been... I hope that this will be what Heaven will be like for all of us and our beloved horses. Thank you, again!
