Original 1947 Associated Press Wire Photo capturing the dramatic finish of the 73rd Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. The image identifies each horse in the field as Jet Pilot crosses the finish line first, followed by Phalanx and Faultless. The original caption is printed directly on the photograph, and an Associated Press Wirephoto stamp is present on the reverse. Measuring approximately 15½ × 11 inches, the photograph shows expected age-related wear, including light creases, edge wear, and minor surface marks consistent with newspaper archive use. Acquired from the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper. Please see photos.
