1990? We were in 8th place (SCA)  Any drama up in the top box didn't apply to us. LOL!

What was the year when SCA and Rochester tied at Finals, and joined together to play themselves off the field at retreat? That was really cool.

That was 1989 DCA finals and it was FUN!  I wore one of Cru's  Phantom of the Opera face masks! We were trading uniform parts, flags... what a good time that was! Then in 1990 at Cru's show, we tied again!

The most fun two corps in 7th place could have! 🙂

I remember the combined horn lines playing warmup exercises and whatever else they could think of quickly that everyone knew. LOL.  That was a fun thing to see!

The No. 3 horse. Runs well in the cold. :tongue:

Being a fellow NYC metro area guy, do you remember Fred Capossela, the great track announcer at Aqueduct and Belmont? 

A style all his own. "It is now post time..."

At one point we lived a few hundred yards from Belmont and I could hear his race calls in my backyard.

I always recognized echoes of Eddie in your own announcements at DCA shows and on the recordings. At one time, DCA had lots of photo finishes and dark horses. Not so much recently.
