racing memorabilia

[spiderjohn]

I have been cleaning out my storage----incredible amount of forms, programs, tc/bc blood horse, newspapers, ticket stubs, gifts going back to Affirmed/Alydar. If you are collectors and would like any of the above from any tc/bc race day, I probably have it. If anyone would like any of it, I will ship it to you at my cost.
Still to come are Derby/Belmont/Arlington glasses and many Fred Stone, Richard Reeves, James Crow prints(most still in the tube).

If interested let me know want you might want and we might work it out.

It is staggering how many days and major races I have attended, and more telling how many other days that I have spent at race tracks around the world.

Makes me wonder about my past........and proof in the programs that I have never been a great handicapper---$$$$$$$

No family interest?
I whittled down my collection 20 years ago, most had little value. Saved some special Derby and Travers glasses, forms, programs and trophies. Secretariat and Gato Del Sol paintings.
Even those are in the basement. No Stone or Reeves though.
Maybe this, Keeneland Library.

How do I donate gifts to the Library?
Contact the Library Director, Roda Ferraro at [e-mail], to discuss in-kind donations of books, journals, photographs, art and/or artifacts. All gifts are documented by a Deed of Gift signed by the donor and the Library representative. The Library does not provide appraisals.

15 or so years ago I was downsizing, had 2 racing saddle blankets from AKSARBEN for 2 horses who had won stakes races there. Put 'em up on Ebay and they went fast.

Ditto, racing programs.....2 of which went to owners of horses who had won on the day but could not make it to the race, so they wanted the program. Key to those however, is that they must be pristine, ie., you can't have written in them or marked them up. I was just happy to know they were meaningful to someone who could enjoy them, rather than sitting in a box in my attic.
