mentions that biographers of Otto Kahn have either focused on his career of financier or on his support of the arts (such as the Metropolitan Opera). There was no mention of horses and four-in-hands.
The NYT Magazine Section of August 7, 1910

"OTTO KAHN -- A MAN OF STEEL AND VELVET; The Methods of a Financier Who Is a Big Figure in More Worlds Than the Financial One." does mention that he like to drive a four-in-hand.
NYT of September 26, 1913,

indicates that he did not drive the horses in the competition, so perhaps this is a photo op.
