Report from yesteryear...
Well, this IS a surprise...
$400 for the owner of Trombone! That's like $11,000 in dog years.
Trombone shows up a number of times in these track reports, and there seems to have been some sort of scandal regarding the fixing of the steeplechases.
Horse racing? Not on the up-and-up? I am shocked.
But I'm afraid Trombone met an unfortunate end...
Ouch! My fried Flicka!
Now we'll never find out how he got that name!

Re: Trombone at the races
I've found out a bit more about horses...
The initials by the horse's name tell you something of the color and age/sex of the horse.
The b.c for Trombone means he was a "bay colt".
Bay is a color. A mid brown with black "points". The book cover below shows approximate "bay " coloring.
A "colt" is a male horse under five years of age.
ch. means "chestnut" coloring, darker than "bay".
And g.... eww... ouch. Don't ask. You don't want to know!
Trombone had a pedigree! You can see it going back five generations.
