I can't find the name Joe Atkins in the race winners shown for each of the early races at Saratoga Springs. Has anyone ever seen the name Joe Atkins as a horse's name or maybe an owner's name? Thanks.

When you look at the lists of winners of the great old stakes races in New York, it's disconcertingly strange to see nothing for 1911 and 1912. God save us from future "reformers" and despicable hypocrites! I just thought of a quaint old track expression that I used to hear in days of yore: "The flag is up!" I miss that old flag...Oh, well.

I haven't made it to the Spa yet, but this kind of history is what motivates me to get up there one day. Thanks for posting this.
