Here's a great pair of programs, both from Santa Anita Park; one is from February 25, 1950, and the second is from March 4, 1950. The first includes the Santa Anita Handicap and the second is The San Juan Capistano Handicap. In both races, Noor beat Citation, as part of a four-race winning streak. Citation had just returned after an injury, however, Noor ran faster than any horse in history up to that point on a dirt track. It wasn't the injury as much as the British import he ran against. The two programs measure 3.75x9" and are EX-MT.
