At The Races
Belvedere Club Derby Kicks Off The New Year
A huge crowd of Belvederians gathered at Laurel Manor last Thursday, January 12, 2017, to kick off 2017 with a whoosh. That’s the sound of the thoroughbreds racing by, hooves-a-pounding, to the finish line.
Some won some lost, but a good time was had by all.
