Man Makes Odd Trade For Kentucky Horse In Los Angeles
An old lean horse with a white star on its shoulder was traded in front of a Los Angeles hotel after a Chinese wagon outfit driver offered cash. The buyer revealed the horse came from Kentucky where it raced at Churchill Downs in 1893 and was later sold for $8,000. The horse was led away to hotel stables as the buyer explained its lineage and that he recognized it from the track.
