Now and again I come up with some old racetrack photos that I collect and post here. 19th century, year unknown Saratoga clubhouse, 1909

Saratoga, looks like the 1950s with the vinyl web chairs. My Mom had some for the yard. Saratoga steeplechase, date unknown, but I remember a water hazard at Belmont when I was a kid. Saratoga start, 1920s no doubt from the multitude of straw "boaters" on the guys' heads. Before the starting gate, a mesh net would be yanked up in front of the field for a start. Before that horses would start from a cold standing start. In the upper left you can see the "water hazard" for steeplechase racing with just one turf course in front of that.
