Taken at the Piping Rock club, the Long Island venue associated with horse shows and riding events, this glass negative records Cherry Malotte placing second in a race. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers, made the image, and the title comes from the agency's caption cards, which the record describes as unverified. Equestrian events were a popular subject for society and sporting pages in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, so the exact year remains unknown.
