1868 Brush Capital Closely Contested Course Goldsmith Heats Maid Trotter Trotting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and excitement of the sixth and final heat of the closely contested trotting race between Goldsmith Maid and American Girl, which took place on July 4, 1868, at the Union Course in Long Island, New York. The Union Course was known for hosting some of the most prestigious horse races during the late 19th century, and this particular event was no exception. The two trotters, Goldsmith Maid and American Girl, are seen locked in a fierce battle for the lead as they navigate the brush home stretch of the track. Their powerful strides and determined expressions convey the immense effort and concentration required to be a successful racer during this era. The close proximity of the horses and the thick brush suggest a high level of skill and agility on the part of their jockeys, who expertly maneuvered their mounts through the challenging terrain. The photograph, dated circa 1868, offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of horse racing in America during the late 19th century, a time when the sport captivated the nation and brought communities together in celebration.
