Original Toronto Star caption: No butterflies here: Veteran rider Avelino Gomez relaxes, at left, by playing a game of solitaire in jockey's quarters, then weighs in, at right, before third race on Greenwood program. There is no sign of jitters, despite the fact that it is his first ride since he made an unsuccessful attempt at a comeback in 1970, after retirement in 1969. Displaying his old form, he got horse, Miguel, up to finish third.
