Racing at Saratoga Springs, New York, is the subject here, at a resort town known since the nineteenth century for its mineral springs. The Saratoga track opened in 1863 and became one of the most fashionable stops on the American racing calendar, drawing wealthy vacationers, horsemen and spectators to the grandstand and the surrounding hotels each summer. The record gives no date, and the name on its shelflist card, H. Schile, is unverified, so the exact year and maker remain uncertain. The scene still captures the social mix that made the summer meeting famous.
