1) What the hell Vernon was thinking when Bykster asked him? 2) How many autographes has Vernon signed in his life? STILL an outstanding gift.

I still remember the day Hooves called me and Byk got on the phone and told me about it.......I was crying, but they were tears of laughter no doubt..

I am a reformed pack-rat and no longer keep anything but the most important keepsakes...it's too hard to move that crap around.
My favorite racing item is a 7 foot long official win photo of the entire field from the 73 belmont...one of these days I will have the $$ to get it framed.

My favorite momento was a present from my wife: A photo of Alphabet Soup, Louis Quatorze, and Cigar nearing the finish of the 1996 BC Classic. It's signed by the jockeys over each rider's horse. Not a bad set of riders either: McCarron, Bailey and Day.

The original hangs at Sperry's on Caroline St. Hubbs got a number of oversized copies made and I had Jorge Velasquez sign them. It's a totally unique shot of the race and rather cool piece of memorabilia with the original "J.V.'s" autograph...
