Confessions of a racing memorabilia junky

[Echo Farm]

I have a fairly diverse collection. Lots of original time win composites (2 John Henry, & Lady's Secret, signed, Cigar BC, and many more) My favorites are some of the older matted ones from the 40s and 50s of claimers. I also have several cool win photos of Calumet horses from Southern CA wins in the 50s,
and a Calumet stall webbing from the Lundy era.
Somehow I managed to get all of the Santa Anita Steins to collect dust, too, along with 3 Chris McCarron win trophies: Cavonieer Cal Cup Juve, Purdue King, and Love Smitten (Swain's Dam).
A few saddle cloths, shoes, halters and other odball stuff. Too much to display. It becomes addicting.
I guess my most unusual thing is a harness item, a 3' x 4' banner that hung in the old Quad City Downs commerating the "Fastest nighttime mile" there 10/1/82, by Rambling Willie.
Lots of books.

Someday............... I'll get pics of everything in an album on the web.
