While on Vacation

Post by Garret Folsom »

I was recently on vacation at Hampton Beach. We were driving around and came across Runnymede Farm in North Hampton, New Hampshire. Noticed the sign said Winner 1968 Kentucky Derby. With my lack of any kind of knowledge of Horse Racing history, I looked it up, and found the story of Dancer's Image who won, then lost the Kentucky Derby.

Here is an article: http://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety. ... cky-derby/
