I can get Hank Aaron's, Bobby Hull's, Jim Brown's and Tiny Archibald's career stats with a few strokes on the keyboard.
Website idea!

The PPs of every horse who has started in this country since DRF has kept statistics should be readily available at a reasonable cost. Some magazines sell portable hard drives that contain all their past issues. DRF should sell portable hard drives that have the scanned pages of every edition of the Form issued in a given year.
For a sport that cares so much about its history, there are few attempts to make this history available to fans or interested parties. How sad that if I want to see the video of a historical race, I have to hope someone has posted it on YouTube.
