Horse Racing Cards
 

Greeting fellow collectors!

I've been collecting various tobacco/pre-war cards for some time, but recently I've been focusing on horse racing cards. Slowly but surely, I've been working on Allen & Ginter Racing Colors of the World (N22) and its sister set, Jockey Caramels (E47). I've also picked up complete sets from the UK/Commonwealth (because they're common and reasonably affordable): Ogden's Trainers & Owners' Colours (1st & 2nd series), Gallaher's Racing Scenes, Gallaher's Famous Jockeys, and Will's New Zealand Race Horses.

I'm curious if anyone else has interesting horse racing cards to share. Also, I'd be happy to receive any suggestions for cards I might look into. I'm aware of many N-series sets I'll eventually start working on, so I'm more looking for the obscure. Thank you!

Below are a couple of examples I own:

I have an on again off again horse themed collection since my wife and I are horse owners. I have completed all three Kinney sets (N230 to N232) with N231 - Great American Trotters being a real challenge. I've made minimal progress on Allen & Ginter World's Racers (N32), although I do have one of the albums (see below.)

Generally speaking, you are already on the right track by looking at pre-war British tobacco issues. I've got a list of such sets, though it also includes other sets that feature horses like the 1910 BAT Drum Horses and the 1912 Wills Governor Generals.

I need to dig out my duplicates from storage, but can probably help you get started on the Kinney sets.
