Former Las Vegas resident David Cassidy, who pulled up stakes to plant some roots in Florida, is horsing around in upstate New York.
Last week Cassidy was seen consoling Marylou Whitney and her husband John Hendickson, after their beloved horse Bird Town fell from the pack and lost a gruelling mile and a quarter race at Saratoga Springs. Also trying to buck up Marylou's spirits was former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Future plans for the filly are to use her as a brood mare - the horse, not Marylou.
Cassidy and his wife, Sue, own and race their horse, Zelig.
David's wife was kept racing on her own track. Sue and Eileen Cornacchia, co-owner of Kentucky Derby winner Go for Gin, co-chaired the Old Bags Luncheon at the Canfield Casino.
Hand me down hand bags from the super rich were auctioned for charity. Marylou Whitney donated several.
New items, which could be purchased, included jewellery from Tony White's collection.
10 percent of anything purchased was donated to the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation.
