Cert. #A116, issued in 1923 to Freida Vocke Doak for one share. Signed by Howard Spreckels as secretary and the vice president (illegible). Great vignette of two horses and jockeys running neck and neck to the finish. Inc. in Delaware. The Pacific Coast Jockey Club opened Ingleside Racetrack in 1895. Horse racing in the bay area dated back to 1847, with the first formal race held near Mission Delores (outsidelands.org). The track was located in the southwestern part of San Francisco just off Ocean Road (later Ocean Ave). After the turn of the century business declined and the track was sold to the California Jockey Club. The last races there were in Dec. 1905. The track never re-opened after the 1906 earthquake. The certificate is very rare and in very good condition. There is a small chit missing from the lower left corner. View photos. Uncancelled.
