The American Jockey Club operated this facility on what was once the Bathgate estate. It was owned by Leonard W. Jerome, who helped found the Jockey Club, and August Belmont, Sr. The course was known as \u00e2\u0080\u009cThe Bluff\u00e2\u0080\u009d and hosted the first Belmont Stakes in honor of its owner and President of the Jockey Club in 1867. It ran there until 1890 until it was moved to the Morris Park Racetrack. Visits to Jerome Park were integral to New York City social life. In 1894, Jerome Park was scheduled to be turned into a reservoir for the city because the popularity of racing had begun to decline and \u00e2\u0080\u009cbookmaking\u00e2\u0080\u009d was introduced, lowering the class of the facility to the chagrin of the American Jockey Club, which later banned the activity. The prohibition of betting was the final factor in the downfall of Jerome Park."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "Thomas Kelly was a successful Irish-born lithographer who had learned the craft in Philadelphia from his father.
