Old Horse Racing Photos

Borrowing an idea from Railbird, I looked through the Florida Photographic Archives for old racing photos. Some highlights:

• color postcard of Gulfstream's paddock before the renovations
• a 1939 Marion Post Wolcott photo of the Hialeah toteboard (love the bugler in the lower left corner)
• Really Rugged (sire of Rugged Lark) sold as a two-year-old for $32,000 at a 1962 auction at Hialeah ractrack
• 1932 photograph of the starting line at Hialeah, using a barrier rather than starting gates. The Totalisator in the background was the first used in the United States.
• 1960s/1970s (based on the boots) photograph of a woman bugler calling the horses to the post at a Miami racetrack
