In the latest edition of Rewind, Robert Smith has assembled another group of old photographs for the monthly feature Picture Parade. The folks in the reading audience have a chance to identify the personalities or items displayed in the pictures if they so desire. You can submit as few or as many answers as you wish, or you can sit back and just look at this collection of "oldies".
This week's photos once again follow a central theme as all of them involve being in the winner's circle for the traditional gathering and picture taking that most often follows each race. Because of their similarity most will carry the same caption.
