On Monday, September 7, I covered the Pennsylvania Derby at Philadelphia Park. To read the short Q&A piece which appeared in the Center City Weekly Press, click here.
To read the feature story (this is the way I wanted to do the story) that appeared on page 5 of the North Brevard Beacon in Florida, click here. This story also ran in The Bloodhorse, a racing magazine, but the magazine is not available online so I can't link to it.
It was the kind of assignment I like, checking something out and seeing what story I could find.
While enjoying a beer and tearing up my losing ticket after the first race, my story found me when Charlie Gillespie approached me in the owners' & media section.
Gillespie, a retired art teacher, was saved from his Clinical Depression by getting involved with a little race horse named Bunker Hill, who was racing in the million-dollar-purse Pennsylvania Derby later in the day.
