View of Santa Anita Race Track and Grandstand looking west. There are twelve horses and riders racing and the grandstand appears to be nearly full. (Date is disputed to be after 1955, not 1950, per researcher race track historian Leonard Wynne, who says the inner track part, known as the "Turf Course" was put in during 1955. The inner track part is not where the horses are seen running.)
