Print, Photographic

One framed sepia-toned composite photograph of two images: six race horses running on a track, and a group of men and women who are standing beside race horse #3 on the track at Randall Park, Cleveland. The upper image shows six horses running on a track with horse #3 in the lead. Fencing, signs, buildings, and trees can be seen in the background. In the lower image, people are identified as follows (left to right): Jerry Flavin, S. Greene, Jr. (trainer), Jerry D. Lynch, Jr., Jerry Lynch, Sr., Walter Flavin, unidentified attendant, Heart Flash (race horse #3), and E Nelson (jockey). A large crowd of spectators is standing behind a fence in the background. The photo is held in a light tan cardboard frame that has narrow green lines near the inner and outer edges. Handwritten pen text on the frame reads "Randall Park; 'Heart Flash'; R. Sisto, Up; Jerry Lynch, Owner; Aug. 29, 1953; S. Greene, Jr., Trainer; 6 Fur. [Furlongs] 1:12 1/5." Green printed text in the lower right corner reads "Photo by Jerry Vitous." A white paper label in the upper left corner has black typewritten text that identifies most of the people in the photo.
