Description Photograph of an aerial view of a horse racetrack in Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, California, ca.1950. In the center, a large building is visible while people are crowding its front area and along a racetrack. Across the racetrack, a vast area where a garden exposes a decorative landscape design in its center; another large crowd of people is observable in this area. In the background, rows of parked automobiles and what seem to be horse stables are visible. Further to back, a residential area is partially visible showing houses and trees.
