Roof
Seat or Derby Break
The
Roof Seat Break is a sporting vehicle with three rows of seats.
The high seats kept the passengers above the dust, allowing
them to see and be seen while traveling. The break was often
used as a portable set of bleachers for viewing polo matches
and race meets. The Roof Seat Break was usually drawn by a team
or four horses. On occasion a unicorn hitch was used requiring
three horses.
