Historic Saratoga Race Course-Step Nicely Ceramic Ornament

My personal favourite photo of this majestic and historic landmark, known as Saratoga Race Course. Fans have been flocking to this cathedral of a racetrack for over 150 years. Every Summer race fans and horse lovers have been counting down the days until the following season. They return to be part of the history, the charm and the excitement of the finest racing in the country. The best jockeys, trainers and owners compete for top honours. The highlight of every meet is the Travers Stakes or better known as the Summer Derby. Past winners winners include: Man O' War, Whirlaway, Native Dancer, Sword Dancer, Buckpasser, Damascus, Alydar, and Bernardini. The Travers is the oldest stakes race in America, first running was captured by a horse named "Kentucky" in 1864. This black and white photo depicts the carefully wrapped legs of an equine athlete moments before going to the post at Saratoga. Fleetphoto
