Shadow Roll,
My most prized is the 1969 Bloodhorse stallion register. One of my favorites is listed. 20-16-2-1-1, earnings $900,592. Stood at Tartan Farms, Ocla Fl. owner John A. Nerud. The bay's name...Dr. Fager. DTS |

Very nice! One of my favorites, too. I've got a photo of him with Baeza's autograph, framed and hanging in my office. |

My favorite would probably be the "win" tickets I saved from Seattle Slew's Belmont. |

Actually, two of mine carry Dr Fager blood. He sired a mare named Remedia, the dam of Too Chic, the dam of Alpargata (sire Alydar), dam of Daygata (Dayjur by Danzig). One is a 2yo filly, Darlin' by Day, one is a yearling colt, Daring Day. Also, your avitar is very good. |

The original hangs at Sperry's on Caroline St. Hubbs got a number of oversized copies made and I had Jorge Velasquez sign them. It's a totally unique shot of the race and rather cool piece of memorabilia with the original "J.V.'s" autograph... |
I have a fairly diverse collection. Lots of original time win composites (2 John Henry, & Lady's Secret, signed, Cigar BC, and many more) My favorites are some of the older matted ones from the 40s and 50s of claimers. I also have several cool win photos of Calumet horses from Southern CA wins in the 50s,
and a Calumet stall webbing from the Lundy era. Somehow I managed to get all of the Santa Anita Steins to collect dust, too, along with 3 Chris McCarron win trophies: Cavonieer Cal Cup Juve, Purdue King, and Love Smitten (Swain's Dam). A few saddle cloths, shoes, halters and other odball stuff. Too much to display. It becomes addicting. I guess my most unusual thing is a harness item, a 3' x 4' banner that hung in the old Quad City Downs commerating the "Fastest nighttime mile" there 10/1/82, by Rambling Willie. Lots of books. Someday............... I'll get pics of everything in an album on the web. |
My prize collectible is a 1973 Saratoga Whitney program signed by Secretariat’s trainer Lucien Laurin.
As a 20-something year old college student, I actually bumped into him after the running of the Whitney. He graciously signed my program even though he must have been disappointed and upset over the outcome of the race. A true gentleman as well as an outstanding trainer |

My favorite racehorse memorabilia is the entire Danberry Mint Racehorse collection, my Breyer collection of many great racehorses, my original oil painting of Barbaro winning the Kentucky Derby by Pat Delong, and my Secretariat photo of the entire Belmont stretch run (you all know which one I am talking about) signed by Ron Turcotte. Pat Delong has an awesome store now where she sells a ton of memorabilia through paintings...I could buy her out. I love that kind of stuff. http://stores.prime-equine.com/Categ...=Store+Catalog Here's my Barbaro painting again...I know that I've shown it on here a million times, but we have a lot of new members... http://www.finalturngallery.com/SmartyJones/barbaorftg |

Echo Farm.... Sounds like a very nice collection to me. And you've given me some ideas of things I'd like to find! I posted awhile back that I was recently thrilled to find and buy a winner's circle photo from 1950. From Ascot. Ascot Park. In Akron, Ohio. It's where I cut my horseracing fan teeth! And my real teeth! |
