"For the delivery of valuable horses to the race track, show-ring or home quarters, this motor van is the last word in comfort and safety. It reduces the ever-increasing hazards met with when shipping by rail or leading afoot, and minimizes the danger of bodily injury to the horse, attendants and public, also spares the animal many nervious shocks from fright. On long trips the horse may, if desired, be rested over-night at farm barns. Constructed by August A. Busch for transporting his "Chief Uncas," a highly pedigreed chestnut colt with which Mr. Busch expects to win the 1925 Derby at Louisville."
