Dear Harold:
They make the race tracks here very beautiful and attractive so they can take your money away painlessly. Fortunately no tracks are open now. Only a few more days then back to the cold city.
RTS?
Mr. Harold Pownall
118 W. Gorgas St.
Philadelphia 19
Pennsylvania
The Florida Derby is happening on March 31 at this historic track, where it has been held since 1952. Started at Tampa Downs in 1926, the Derby is the premiere event of the Florida horse racing season, which as our writer notes, begins in January and ends in April. In fact, if RTS had stuck around for a few months, he could have seen Tim Tam win the Florida Derby, only to nearly miss out on the Triple Crown at Belmont.
The name Harold Pownall comes up on quite a number of retrieved records in a Google search and on the SSDI, but since none tie that name to the city of Philadelphia.
