These races were held at the old, second, Madison Square Garden location. Due to financial difficulties this property was purchased by the New York Life Insurance Company in the mid-1920s; New York Life then built its current corporate headquarters there (26th-27th St, between Madison and Park Avenue---a square block). Angel Garcia, who worked for New York Life for a looooong time Long Valley, NJ
