Total prize money of horse races. Dublin 1963.

In Dublin, 1963, a rustic wooden board charts the escalating prize money from horse races at the turn of the century. Rectangular plates mark the annual totals, rising from £260 in 1900 to £4,175 in 1903. Interspersed with these figures are the names of winning horses, such as Rain-Storm and Vip-Sania, displayed on circular plaques set within weathered horseshoes. The entire display is mounted against a simple corrugated metal background.
