1940 Press Photo - Seabiscuit Wins Santa Anita Handicap, Rare Inside Rail Shot

Description: Here's a great photo of one of the most iconic races of the entire 20th century with Seabiscuit winning the 1940 Santa Anita Handicap and setting the all-time earnings mark in track record time in front of a massive crowd. This is a unique shot from inside the rail and shows Seabiscuit hitting the wire with Kayak II and Whichcee chasing. Most of the photos of this famous race are from the traditional spot on the outside rail (you can see a bunch of photographers there in this shot) but there are far fewer shots from the inside rail. This has the Acme Photo stamp on the back and the original paper caption. The photo measures 7"x9". There is some waviness to the photo from the adhesive used for the caption but no rips, tears or creases. Really a great shot and a very rare photo to find.
