Description
Santa Anita Park Race Track in Arcadia California USA. In 1935, the inaugural running of the Santa Anita Handicap was won by Azucar. The race’s build up and running, with its purse being an unheard of at the time $100,000, makes front page news of the Los Angeles Times. In 1940, Seabiscuit won the Santa Anita Handicap after two previous attempts. That same year, the magnetic starting gate was first introduced into the Santa Anita Park meet.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
