Dealer Notes
This programme records the races for the sixth day of the race meeting in Makri-Keuy (also known as Mackrochori, modern Turkish Bakırköy), in 1922. The location for the events is not given - perhaps Veliefendi Race Course - and the programme provides details of the Racing Syndicate committee - the President was Ömer Faruk Efendi - conditions of participation, and a list of six events with names of the riders and horses. The text is printed in French and Ottoman Turkish.
