....used to pack them in every night. One of the local TV station broadcast a race replay show at midnite and a local radio station had a racing program on the air every morning at 6:45am. Those were the days.

who was a harness racer. The photo must be at least 40 years old. It's in black and white.

....racing memorabilia has a pretty good market. Even better if you know the names of the people and horses in the picture. If they're famous even more better.

some research cuz this is on the picture backing, not the photo itself. Have not taken it apart from the frame. Interesting to research but not interested in selling. But might be interested in donating to an organization . . . .
