The Coney Island Jockey Club’s racetrack at Coney Island, NY, was at the time the most famous racetrack in the world. This beautiful trophy was produced by America’s first jeweler. Luxury silver maker, Black, Starr, and Frost was founded in 1810. This magnificent trophy stands 12.5" tall and 8.75" wide. The Stirrup Cup was one of the few important stakes races when the track was inaugurated in 1880. It became important as many top racehorses competed throughout the years. In addition to being a famous race, another trophy from the Coney Island Jockey Club has not surfaced in many years. This is a tremendous opportunity to own a part of racing history with a trophy from one America’s truly important racetracks.
