Bob Hanson (above) drove his 1940 “Woody” station wagon to the May 17, Potomac Hunt Races. A member of the Hunt since 1931, Hanson’s sons and granddaughter have followed the interest. Helena Hanson, 18, will enter Bryn Mawr College this fall. So will her horse.

At the Kiplinger family’s “Bittersweet Field.”
It was hot. Brutally hot, at the 63rd running of the Potomac Hunt Races on Sunday, May 17. The weatherman repeatedly called for cloudy, stormy weather. Wrong. By 1 p.m. when the first race at the Kiplinger family’s “Bittersweet Field,” Poolesville, and a couple thousand tailgate picnics were already in full swing, more than just horses had broken out in a full sweat.
