Harness Horses"

Auction held by Fasig-Tipton Company at New York's Madison Square Garden, 
November 16th-21st, 1908. "A Galaxy of the Greatest Horses" auctioned at 
Madison Square Garden! Fasig-Tipton remains in the horse auction business 
to this day, and among their alumni were Harlan's Holiday, Kentucky Derby

This catalog includes very informative entries for 749 harness horses, with 
information on their pedigree going back several generations, comments on 
some of their ancestors, and owner's statements about the horses. There are 
also pictures of some of the horses. A wonderfully informative catalog.
