Complete TV broadcasts of races: Where can I find them & what do you have?

I've got a whole bunch of VHS tapes my Dad made. When he passed I took them and they are all from the 1980's and 1990's. He has a bunch of Breeder's Cups (full) and other big televised races. He also taped a ton of the old ESPN racing show, the one with Chris Lincoln on it that recapped the past week in racing. They showed a lot of races in full.

They fill up a liquor box and I bet they were never watched more than once, if at all.

Any interest to any of you ? I'm not looking to sell them but if somebody wanted to go through them and if anything is worthwhile put it up on the internet or something, that would be great. I wouldn't need them back and don't want anything for them, just to share for horseplayers. My Dad would have loved that.

Let me know.

Joe
