I've been collecting the American Racing Manuals for about 5 years... Used to buy them at Lyrical Ballad in Saratoga one at a time... Ebay has made it easier and cheaper to fill in Now have nearly 50 of them from 1937-2005..
Have about 30 Derby Glasses as well... One of my favorite pieces is Reverberate's groom's walking ring bib from Belmont last year...
The unique things I have are the two "quarter poles" that I've made that sit in front of the Barbecuse at Saratoga. Then trainers, riders, owners, media types, etc. sign it all meet. Total one-of-kinds... Have tons of racing stuff...
