Description

Even though Delaware is a small state, it has a wealthy history of horse-related activities, one in all them being horse racing. From the early 1900s, horses have been used for more than a few reasons, including farm work, way of transportation, pasture ornament, pleasure riding, and the preferred sport of horse racing. Delaware Horse Racing takes the reader back decades to the great old days of popular tracks, such as Brandywine Raceway, Georgetown Raceway, Delaware Park Raceway, Dover Downs Raceway, and Harrington Raceway, where Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds raced hard and speedy on half-mile and five-eighths-mile dirt tracks. Gathered from the collections of horsemen and horsewomen, up to now unpublished historical photographs show legendary owners, running shoes, drivers, and racehorses.
