Coney Island, New York, 1886. Lot of 2 Grand Stand tickets to the June 1886 Meeting of the Coney Island Jockey Club. Both have a jockey riding a racehorse at center, with a stirrup frame and horseshoe at bottom: one blue and one yellow, with specimen overprints, as well as "U" and "N" overprints in red, respectively. Both are in VF condition, with light damage and staining at back, possibly from being mounted. The Coney Island Jockey Club was formed in 1879. Led by Leonard Jerome, James R. Keene, and the track's president, William Kissam Vanderbilt, the Club held seasonal race cards at nearby Prospect Park fairgrounds until construction of the new race course was completed in Sheepshead Bay, New York.
