The Paddock of Delaware Park

Come On Get Happy with Pat Day aboard leads the post parade for the $100,000 R.R.M. Carpenter, Jr. Memorial Stake on Saturday, July 25th.

The trees within the paddock area provide a canopy over the horses as they make their way to the track from Delaware's spacious paddock. Smoke from the picnic area barbecues rises in the background.

Keene Dancer

Keene Dancer (third from right-shadow roll), a three year old bay colt by Seattle Dancer trained by David Carroll, settled in behind the Linda Rice-trainee, Soldier Field (Richard Migliore) and Carlos Marquez aboard Skeedattle Dancer early in the race, but drew off to easily defeat the field of turfers in the $200,000 Kent Breeders' Cup Stakes for three year olds.

Memories of Silver

Sixteen entered $100,000 Robert G. Dick Memorial, but so imposing is Memories of Silver's record, that when she did not scratch, 11 others did. She won easily by a little more than three lengths.

Memories of Silver accompanied her younger half-sister, Memories of Gold (Time For A Change), who was to run later in the day in the Delaware Oaks.

Nickel Classic and Lu Ravi

Midwestern filly, Nickel Classic, who prevailed by a head over a closing Lu Ravi, a daughter of A.P. Indy, with Willie Martinez aboard. Ridden by Calvin Borel for Calvin Johnston and trainer Mark Danner, the blaze-faced chestnut daughter of Regal Classic and Spend a Nickel by Plugged Nickle (KY) ran the 1 1/16 miles in 1:42 4/5 second.

Relaxing Rhythm

Has this filly been running through white paint? No... but she probably could be cross registered as a Paint with these striking, yet unusual markings. Click on the link to see the full shot of Relaxing Rhythm in the paddock with Pat Day aboard.

Amarillo

Amarillo, a four year old bay filly by Crafty Prospector out of the Apalachee mare, Popachee, led longshots Tuxedo Junction, Timely Broad and One Rich Lady across the wire ahead of the heavy favorites, Champion Ajina and the previously unbeaten Relaxing Rhythm.

Julie Krone

Trainer John Forbes caught Julie Krone off guard as he hosed down both his horse and rider after Amarillo's victory in the 1 1/4 miles $500,000 Delaware Handicap for Phantom House Farm on Sunday, July 26th.
