What are the worst you have seen? Lonestar is giving this away on Thursday...

Attachment 716

people will be "trying" to sell them on ebay shortly after.

I really hope they have some left over for Friday night. I'd love to have an Asmussen bobblehead.:cool:

presque isle sock giveaway

What does the white piece of paper in his hand say?

Looks like "30 days suspens..."

LOL

Sponsored by the Erie Times racing section

:p :p :p

it's an essay.

what i did on my six month vacation.

Santa Anita's old dirt track in a bottle, then they wanted it back!

How about this little gem that Mike Pegram shoved down our throats at Saratoga a few years ago..? They are STILL available...

just curious why Steve Asmussen bobblehead is a bad giveaway?? the guy is probably the all time leading trainer there, plus he trains the best horse in the world.

Oh, ok.

Winning another "shake" for a Remington claimer.:rolleyes:

yeah it would be better if the bobble head was holding a test cup for his horse to pee into

How about this 'classic':



One Ebay seller's description:
"I HAVE USED THESE AS PLANTERS OR VASES OR MUGS OR PEN HOLDERS -- THEY ARE PERFECT FOR ANY OF THESE USES."

:D :D :D :D

Shoot - the Dee Tee Chuckies are cooler than that!

And can be used as a planter, or vase, or a mug, or a pen holder ...

Personally I like the Seabiscuit mug/cup/planter. This is the one that gets my vote.

These are all so perfectly awful they
are beautiful. Beautiful in a pitiful way.

Its a shopping list for a visit to BALCO.

Clocks at Saratoga. The 2" by 12" by 16" cardboard boxes made it look like all the spinning Albanians that showed up were carrying around a half dozen packaged toilet seats.

You must have meant to post that in the 'Best promo give away' thread.

Has Elmer's sponsored a "Glue Giveaway Day" yet?

Okay, that one beats the Santa Anita Jock(s) garbage can, which I always thought was the worst.

Ho-ly crap.

i think they should have included a bobblehead of his lawyer.

A couple of years ago, Canterbury gave away track announcer Paul Allen bobble heads.

That's no worse than many examples some can give, but when I was walking in I saw someone walking out with about a dozen--which means he paid for about a dozen admissions to get them.

Very useful for eating a whole packet of cereal :)

I waiting for the Tom Durkin "Bobble Belly"

The Pegram plate is the worst. No wonder one of them sits in the entrance hall of my condo building in Saratoga-who would want to knick that.

Actually the overall quality of the giveaways went down the drain last year. Friends showed me an Arlington lawnchair and the Saratoga one sucked and could barely take my weight.

The previous Saratoga umbrellas which lasted 3 months of London rain-the 07 ones collapse after 1-2 uses

Was NYRA the 1st to do giveaways? I got the distinct impression last year from someone fairly high-up that they'd wished they'd never started doing them

i blew up my jerry bailey bobble head with an m 80...

i want a bobblehead of jerry 'running' back to the booth at oaklawn yesterday....
