Photograph of the entrance and parking lot of Santa Anita Racetrack, ca.1945. People congregate around the manicured yard which surrounds a fountain at center. Four palm trees stand over the fountain while shorter trees shade the patches of grass surround the area. A sea of automobiles sit parked in neat rows in the background, into the left distance.
