A Snapshot in Time by Bob Gates
How about another opening day win from yesteryear—this time from 40 years ago, on May 3, 1985? Once again, owner/trainer Gary Danelson (who always seemed to have his horses ready to go when he arrived) won the seventh race on opening day with There’s a Reason, with jockey Dave Burns up.
Who remembers the ‘character’ guy, Harvey Burnell? You’ll find Harvey in this shot, fourth from the left, wearing the cowboy hat (Gerry Hart photo).
