Default Louisiana Bush track photos

I came across 2 old photos from 2 different match tracks down here. I thought yall might get a kick out of seeing them. Awhile back there was a nice article in the Bloodhorse about the bush tracks down here. Now yall know where Calvin got his start!

This should work, the first photo in the album was to dark. There are only 2 pics. I like the one that shows how we used to run horses down the track with split rails.

I can't see anything except a low resolution photo that appears to be upside down.

Patins Racetrack...

Was'nt that the guy that got accused of dropping a buzzer a few years back?
Billy Patin?

I wonder if this was his family's track.
