1947 AP Wire Photo dated May 4 in Louisville, Kentucky, showing Kentucky Derby winner Jet Pilot walking up a loading ramp into a van at Churchill Downs as a crowd gathers to bid him farewell. The separate original caption explains that the van would take him to a railroad car for the journey to Baltimore and the following Saturday's Preakness. Spectators, including a woman holding a child, watch beside the ramp, while a uniformed man appears in the foreground. Measures 7⅞ x 6 inches. Yellowed tape remains on the corners, with worn edges and a small notch along the right edge. Surface scuffs and scratches are visible, particularly near the lower right corner, along with scattered small white spots. A light AP stamp is on the back. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
