Marker Text: ​Site of noted race track (50 Yds N) laid out 1889 by Dr. I. E. Clark, State Senator and physician who owned this farm. Although he had planned a 1/2-mile oval track, the course he traced (free style) in his buggy measured 5/8 mile. Later it was graded, using mule-drawn "Fresco" (old-fashioned scoops for moving earth). The track was chartered 1894  by the state for the Schuldenburg Livestock and Fair Association. Famous horses ran here in its heyday. Here, too, Clark and son Harvey bred 2 of  Texas most famous horses "Orb" and "Dandy" Cars later raced here. (1969)
