Judges work along a line of heavy draught horses in the Arena of the New York Horse Show, an event the Bain negative dates to 1909. The show was a fixture of the city's social and sporting calendar, and its working-breed classes drew farmers, dealers and breeders who prized strength and soundness as much as polish. Bain News Service, the agency behind the collection, sent photographers to events like this to supply newspapers, so the picture captures an active moment of judging rather than a posed portrait. The title comes from the agency's own notes on the negative and has not been independently verified.
