Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Pondering future...and past. Avelino Gomez is deep in thought as he leans on backstretch fence at Woodbine, where he was once king of the turf. Winner of the Plate in 1957, 1960, 1966 and 1969, the 45-year-old El Perfecto is only jockey to have ridden four Plate victories. But he is missing from today's 115th running of Canada's premier race.
