Authentic vintage 1949 single-sheet advertisement featuring prominent Kentucky horse racing history, originally published on Page 52 of "The Courier-Journal and The Louisville Times" supplement.


The upper portion highlights Henry H. Knight's famous Almahurst Farm in Nicholasville, Kentucky—the historic birthplace of racing legends GREYHOUND ("World's Greatest Trotting Horse") and EXTERMINATOR (the 1918 Kentucky Derby Winner pictured with Willie Knapp up).


The lower portion features a striking illustrated green-tinted ad for Fairgrounds Speedway, Inc. in Louisville. It promotes their 1949 Spring-Summer Night Harness Racing season and showcases the champion 2-year-old pacer "Good Time" driven by Frank Ervin.
