What you’re looking at

This page appears to be from an illustrated article rather than a satirical cartoon. It shows five photographs of what the caption describes as "The New [text cut off] - Glimpses of the Costly and Magnificent Work" at what appears to be a horse racing track or sporting venue. The images show: a grand stand viewed from the stretch looking west, a three-quarter turn showing the grade, stables viewed from the infield, a lower turn view from the grand stand, and what appears to be architectural or landscape details. Without the complete headline and context, I cannot definitively identify which specific venue this documents or what "costly and magnificent work" is being referenced. This appears to be promotional or informational photography rather than satire.
