Morrie Alhadeff collected horse-racing paintings and prints. In 1976 he invited artist Kenneth Callahan (1905-1986) to watch the horses at Longacres during their morning workouts. Callahan’s observations resulted in two series of gouache and oil paintings. One series depicted horses in the backstretch and the other showed the horses on race days. Alhadeff was delighted with Callahan’s work and hung the paintings on the walls of a private dining room at the Turf Club, the Longacres clubhouse.
