LIVINGSTON: Springsteel, from Rockingham to Old Friends

Tweeted this yesterday but wanted to make sure everyone saw it: Don't miss this wonderful photo essay by Barbara about the remarkable interment relocation of Depression-era stalwart Springsteel from The Rock to Old Friends..

Great story. I thought I remembered bits and pieces of why the stone was out there. Wasn't really visible from the track, so most people never even knew about its existence.

Although I drive past the Rock regularly I truly didn't reminisce until reading this piece.

Brought back lots of memories of that track, some good, some sad. Horses and jockeys that I got to know from being there a ton.

Eyes filled up thinking about them.

Thanks for sharing Steve. :)
