Tout sheet

This is the Lawton tip sheet from the Saratoga race meeting of 1962, for the fifteenth day of racing, way back when it did not begin before August. My favorite names from the day are Winter Squash and Cut Bait. Of all the thoroughbreds running that day, I think that Rao Raja is the best remembered. I really hate it that announcers talk about first, second, and third instead of about win, place, and show.
