Title: Those "crowded" Winner's photo's
Post by: dougie on October 12, 2023, 04:59:58 PM
When i owned harness horses and "runners", i always had a couple of partners to enjoy the 'game'. And to help defray the cost of being in a "rich man's game" LOL! If i had more than 7 or 8 people in the winning pic, it was alot. Now when i watch the race at Keeneland and other "big time" tracks, i see sometimes over 50 or more people in the "Winner's Circle" taking the pic. After watching the smiles and "Hi-Fives", i realize this is great for the game! The syndication deals have changed "the game" for many who just can't afford to be in it. I know there's little chance of making any real money owning less than 1% of a horse. But it's still gotta be fun to spend a day having lunch, shaking hands with your many partners, and taking the winning photo!

The best winners circle crowd at Saratoga is the Repole crew. The man is loaded and has no problem spending millions on his thoroughbreds. Talk about needing a wide angle lens to get everyone in the picture. This man knows how to enjoy himself.

Seemed like all of the major horses at Lexington had 40 or 50 people or more in the winner's circle.

At the Meadowlands Michael Lisa has been the track photographer since 1999. I was fortunate to have coughed up his $20 fee many times.

I was the majority owner of a horse a few years back that won a leg of the Kentucky Sires Stakes at the Red Mile. Unfortunately, I didn't make there and my partner didn't either. We didn't think he had a chance coming out of the 10 hole. So as I'm watching online I see a least 30 people come across the track to the winners circle. I knew my trainer and groom and that's it. I often wonder if people join the winners circle just to be there.

You have not lived a real winners circle, till "Race Track Rosie" has tucked her shoulder up into your armpit for the picture. You just can't help but look down at those big chocolate breasts.
She would always be respectful and ask first , if she could come in, and only when you were alone.
If you don't know of "Race Track Rosie" just google her for pictures.

She was a ex stripper who did her thing at Chicago Tracks. 

Baseball had their share of those types too the most recent ...

"Julia Rose became famous after she flashed her breasts during a baseball game at the 2019 World Series. This act was performed with fellow influencer Lauren Summer during the seventh inning of the game, and the moment went viral on multiple social media platforms at the time.

As a result of her actions, Julia Rose was suspended from all Major League Baseball stadiums and facilities indefinitely

Stanel Dancer wins a stake race at The Meadows.
Jody (the girl friend) gets in the picture.
Stanley is still married to Rachel at the time.
Back in the paddock Stanley calls up the photographer.
Tells him to bill the NJ. office for six pictures, but be sure NO pictures get in any magazines. Stanley then tells him not to print the pictures till he calls to let him know when he will be back in town.
Stanley never called for the pictures.
Stanley and Jody were latered married.

Joe Bellino owner of Pet Rock and Rock N Roll Heaven invited everyone into the winners circle.

I had a horse win at Plainridge a couple of weeks ago when I was up there.  I was chatting with 2 newbies/t-bred guys who were there for the day.  I answered any question they had.  I told them I owned a part of a horse racing.  The horse won and I asked them to join in the winner circle picture.  The 2 gentlemen were very thrilled that someone did this for them.  One of them actually bought the picture after the race.  Great PR for the sport and a great positive experience for everyone!

by crowded winners circle, are you referring to:

1) A MAC's fractional ownership gangs
or
2) would you settle for more than one horse
