It is extremely rare to find any program from this famous racetrack in New York that made way for a reservoir in 1894. Due to inclement weather, the four-day meet of June 9, 10, 11, & 13 was conducted on June 10, 15, 16, & 17. The meeting encompassed races numbered 62 through 77 all-time and days 18 through 21 since the track’s 1866 inauguration. Each race is described, and except for the second day having five races, all the other days had four events each. August Belmont Sr. was president of the American Jockey Club. The program is in excellent plus condition with no writing, tears, or folds.
