Thx CJ! Glad you tuned in..

Bowen is terrific. I forget to reach out to him and am always delighted when he visits. He has a wealth of history to draw from and his books are invaluable for anyone who wants to appreciate the sports vast heritage.

I'll put links up for those unfamiliar with his work...

I had to pick up my father from the hospital but I caught part of it when Seth Merrow was on and will check the archive.

Great job. The DRF Archive/Keeneland Library project needs a great push. There is a ton of great stuff up there and it's so easy searching once you get the hang of the advanced search feature. You can pull up what you're looking for in seconds.

It will be tremendous if the project ever gets finished... obviously it's incomplete right now and would need a little more funding.

A lot of good stuff is especially in the Jan 2nd through 7th editions. They have detailed stats on a wide range of things -- including trainer stats, jockey stats, and horse record stats for all who made $3,000 or more in Earnings for the prior calendar year.
