December 20, 1981, in Marylebone, London, England. Legacy Today the very selective F. Ambrose Clark Award is highest honor given in Steeplechase by the National Steeplechase Association. A coveted award, it is given to "individuals who have done the most to promote, improve, and encourage the growth and welfare of steeplechasing." His significant collection of tack and historic carriage was put into The Carriage and Harness Museum of Cooperstown, N.Y. held in the Clark's Elk Street stables, which closed with the sale of the collection at auction September 8–9, 1978. Some of the tack was purchased on behalf of the Rockefeller family to furnish a carriage house being opened as a museum as part of the Kykuit estate in Pocantico Hills. The harness is seen there today, with the brass monograms changed from the original "C" to "R". The Elk Street stables are extant, now used as offices for Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital. The rare books room at the National Sporting Library & Museum in Middleburg, Virginia, is named in his honor.
