Description
Photograph of nine horses racing on a dirt racetrack, [s.d.]. The horses are visible in a pack and have just passed the turn in the track. The horses are facing right. One horse can be seen in the lead, while two horses vie for second place. The remainder of the pack is close behind, and they are all running close to the railing that runs alongside the length of the track. At least five horses wear blinders. Trees can be seen in the background beyond the track, while mountains are visible in the background at right.
