Original 1945 Press Photo Horse Racing Ban -Canadian
This is an original 5 x 7 inch press photograph portraying Canadian jockey Hedley Woodhouse. The photos is from the New York Bureau of Central Press, London , credited to Acme, and with stamps on back from Central Press, and British Combine Photos. There is a description pasted on back. It reads: "ARCADE, CALIF. -- LONG FACES ARE IN ORDER AS JOCKEY HEDLEY WOODHOUSE (RIGHT), BAG IN HAND BIDS FAREWELL TO ONE OF HIS FAVORITE MOUNTS THEY HOPE TO RIDE FOR THE DURATION OF THE U.S. RACING BAN." We're don't have any information on the racing ban, apparently it was making the news at the time. It is dated 1-21-45.

The condition of the photo is very good, with light wear, and edge curling.

This is a nice authentic press photo for any historian of horse racing.
