This photograph features legendary jockey Isaac Burns Murphy (third from the right), with several other guests at a clambake hosted by trainer Matt Byrnes following Murphy’s victory aboard Salvator in the 1890 Champion Stakes at Monmouth Park.

Murphy won with at least a third of his mounts over the course of his career. Among his many notable victories, he claimed four of the first five American Derbies, three Kentucky Derbies, and five Latonia Derbies.
