Three photographs of a horse racing track. The top photo shows four horses galloping on a dirt track past a sign reading "1st RACE O.J.C. Sep. 24. The middle photo shows a horse and its jockey being led off the track by a man holding the horse's leash through a gate and past spectators standing off to both sides. The bottom photo shows the horse standing in a grassy area with a fence behind it, and a large number of spectators standing behind the fence and in a grandstand area. The same man as seen in the second photo is holding the horse's leash and the hockey is seated on the horse. At the top of the first photo there is a caption reading "WOOBINE." [sic]
