Notable here is Roosevelt was in the middle of replacing the old lighting fixtures with what would become such (here the newer lights were on the clubhouse turn and backstretch while the older light setup was still in place on the far turn).
The mark of a GREAT horse is that they display longevity, talent and versatility...Savoir was such an animal...having raced against Super Bowl in the GC stakes, he then took on the best FFA trotters the world had to offer...he did not need a specific track, surface OR DRIVER to excel,nor did he have to stay near his home base to be competitive..The drivers that took win pictures with him are a Hall-Of-Fame exhibit in themselves, but he seemed to have a fondness for Delmer Insko and Jim Dennis...Even though the Modified bike was in use early in 1976, It took until August for Savoir to finally race in one of his own....Others may have gone faster, made more money, broke World Records, but The Old Man was one of the greatest...
