Santa Anita, 1935.
1939, ^ - View of the Santa Anita
Racetrack paddock (foreground) and a packed parking lot (background). Large
crowds of people can be seen walking across the pathways surrounding the
paddock, as well as sitting on benches along the main entrance. The paddock
area is where horses are 'assembled', saddled, and mounted before a race.

1953, race track traffic at Huntington Drive and Baldwin in Arcadia at the southwest corner of the Santa Anita Mall. I thought I should add this one precisely because it is such an iconic scene of the area and of those days for anyone heading to the track.
