Original Toronto Star caption: A day for man; beast and child: The chill and rain of a dreary November day are never enough to quell a man's; or boy's; passion for the racetrack. The runners returned to Greenwood yesterday for the final 34-day segment of the thoroughbred season. At left; a man scans the racing form. Centre; Chip Royale and jockey Irwin Driedger charge toward a fourth-place finish in the first race. At right; a boy surveys the action from his high perch.
