Description |
$50,000 Bay Meadows Handicap, Dec. 6, '47. Two black and white photographs show scenes from the Bay Meadows Handicap race held on December 6, 1947, won by the horse Artillery ridden by jockey H. Lindberg. The photograph at top shows a scene from the race with Artillery leading at far right and three horses following at left. The image below shows a scene from the winner's circle. Lindberg sits on Artillery at right holding a garland of flowers. The horse appears in profile while Lindberg turns to face the camera. Four other individuals stand in a row at left. Two older men in long coats stand at far left next to a woman in a fur coat and ornate hat. She faces away from the camera toward a younger man wearing glasses who holds Artillery's reigns. A crowd of people sit behind them in the stands watching them. A typewritten caption between the images reads, "*ARTILLERY* H. LINDBERG UP. / Wins the $50,000 Bay Meadows Handicap, Dec. 6, '47 at Bay Meadows, Calif. / Adrogue (2nd) (1-1/8th miles-1:49) Happy Issue (3rd) / ROLLING HILLS FARM, Owner. E.H.J. SHAW, Trainer." |
