The closest the Vanderbilt Cup Race courses of Long Island Island ever came to Suffolk County was the Woodbury Turn at the intersection of Woodbury Road and Jericho Turnpike. Last week, I asked Oyster Bay Town Historian John Hammond to identify the above building and confirm its location from the 1908 race.
The documentation and photos of the 1908 race at the Woodbury Turn can be found at VanderbiltCupRaces.com.
Enjoy,
