Amazing photos from the Keeneland Library

[propro]

Found this site today with some outstanding old photos of Belmont Park, Brighton Beach, Hialeah Park, Jamaica, Morris Park, Saratoga, Sheepshead Bay, Latonia and Kentucky Association Race Tracks.  Click on the photo you want to see and scroll down on the next page until you see the small photo.  Click that and it goes full screen.

There are also links to horses and people with some of the greats of the sport we love.

My apologies if this has been posted before.

Wow, those are great Pro! I already went through the Saratoga ones (what a surprise). Need to go through the rest at a leisurely pace on a rainy day. Thanks for sharing these.

Tom, it would be awesome if you could recreate some of the Saratoga shots when you're roaming around one morning.  We know that facility hasn't changed that much over the years and it would be great to see a side by side comparison.

Thanks Tom. What's better than Saratoga photos on a cold January day?
