Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing Jet Pilot leading the field around the stretch turn during the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, on May 3, 1947. The dramatic racing view captures the tightly grouped field charging into the home stretch, with Jet Pilot going on to win the Derby. The original AP caption is printed directly along the bottom of the photograph. Period tape remains attached at all four corners, and the photo shows expected age, surface wear, toning and newsroom/archive handling. Measures approximately 7 x 5⅛ inches. Came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
