Solfatara
"A day at the
races"
Turfway Park, April 1, 2000
Click on any thumbnail to see the full-sized picture.
The pictures have already been gamma corrected (made lighter) to show details on her
body. She is DARK!
Basically, she's black with a brown muzzle and some slight brownness where her
legs join her body. "Brown."
I once hoped this was the mare I "saw" during prayer in July '99,
even though her legs and star weren't identical. She's
not mine, nor do I wish to own her.

1. Solfatara's sweet handler posed her for us on
her way in to the paddock to get tacked up for the race. Notice he
has the chain from her lead up under her top lip and over her gums. |
|
 |
5. Here she comes, out from the paddock area, on
to the track! |
 |
2. Then he walked her around the paddock circle
a few times, either to calm her down, warm her up, or show her off...or
all three! Smallish picture. |
|
 |
6. Out on the track, the handler is just about
to hand her to a rider on one of the "pony horses" for the
post parade. |
 |
3. More walking around the paddock circle.
Smallish picture. |

 |
7. During the post parade. How's that for
a sweet-looking girl? |
 |
4. After she was tacked up, he walked her around
still again. |
|
She came in 8th in a field of 9 that day. In her next
2 races she came in 3rd and 4th! But she hasn't done well
since. Time to retire...with me! |
