Original 1947 Associated Press Wire Photo capturing the finish of the 57th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The original caption identifies Faultless crossing the finish line first ahead of On Trust, with a crowd of 40,222 in attendance. The remaining field is identified by number in the printed caption, making this an excellent reference piece for horse racing historians and collectors. The photograph measures approximately 15½ × 10¾ inches and features the original printed caption along the lower border, an Associated Press stamp on the reverse, and expected age-related wear including light creasing, edge wear, and handling marks from newspaper archive use. Acquired from the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper. Please see photos.
