Charles Town Jockey Club Inc. W. Va.

Here is another spectacular old linen postcard we bought while in Charles Town West Virginia.  The back says-

"This track constructed in the Fall of 1933 and operated by the Shenandoah Valley Jockey Club.  In the Fall of 1933 and Spring Meting in 1934, since which time it has been operated by the Charles Town Jockey Club, Inc.  This track is a 3/4 mile oval located in the north most end of Shenandoah Valley, 60 miles northwest of Washington D.C., and 26 miles west of Frederick, Maryland on route #340, in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.  It is a modern plant in every respect and of Spanish design and in its beautiful setting overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains and directly facing the picturesque Harper's Ferry Gap, and in close proximity to the famous Virginia thoroughbred breeding center.  Two meetings are held annually, May and December of each year."
