This sure looks like the Hamid Morton herd that John Cuneo purchased with Joyce on the left, then Bombay, Tess in the middle, Delhi on the right, then Billie. Except I was always under the impression that when John Cuneo purchased the act it consisted of Sherma, Bombay, Delhi, Siam, and Joyce. I was also under the impression that Cuneo replaced Siam who died, with Tess and Sherma who ate Bobby Gibbs with Billie, and that John Cuneo was the only one who presented the act consisting of Joyce, Bombay, Tess, Delhi, and Billie until 1977 at which time I took over and presented the act. This picture is after Tess and Billie had been added to the act, but that sure isn't John Cuneo presenting them. Who is the presenter and the girl doing the mounts? These are the old Hawthorn elephant tubs and ring curb with the center poles that were used to hold up the net cage on outdoor dates as well as the fire hoop on the right used in the Hawthorn Horse Fantasy so the picture has to be from the early 1970's. That is Frank Colombo, long time Hamid-Morton prop boss in the white shirt on the left.
