1947 AP Wire Photo dated May 3 in Louisville, Kentucky, showing Jet Pilot (11), at right, winning the Kentucky Derby in a photo finish over Phalanx (8), at left. The printed caption identifies Phalanx as the second-place finisher and Faultless as third. Horses and jockeys race past the finish post, with the track's odds board, officials and spectators visible in the background. A view of the closely contested finish. Measures 7¾ x 5½ inches overall and is mounted on black archival paper. The original caption is printed directly on the photo. Both the photograph and caption are noticeably light and lack sharpness; the caption is faint, with soft lettering. Yellowed tape remains at the corners, and scattered small surface spots are visible. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
