"Latonia Race Track," Photo 0520 (back), undated- scannedBack of photograph 0520. There is a stamp print on the back that reads "Rolsen Photo Service Phone HE 0572-12 Catalpa AVE. Covington, KY." In a caption glued to the back it reads "Latonia Race Track. The Kentucky Jockey Club's Latonia race course, which is conceded to be one of the prettiest, if not the most beautiful race institution in America, is one of the oldest institutions in Kenton County. It is located in Covington, Kentucky about 1/4 mile from Madison Pike at the end of Latonia Avenue. For a generation, this meeting place of the thoroughbreds, has been close to the heart of Kentuckians, and especially are the citizens of Northern Kentucky proud of it. This is the view of the track taken from the Grandstand."
