Text from newspaper caption: Nothing Like Getting Up In The Air For A Good View. You had to have a long neck to see everything at Santa Anita yesterday, particularly if you were jammed in with the throng standing on the terrace. One youthful rooter found a vantage point on the top of the fence and stuck it out for a long rime. Times photo by Bill Snyder.
