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...

Do I get to sign if I make an appearance at Toga?

I was there when a little kid thought it was funny to sign one of the quarter poles. I think if Byk had found the kid he would have de-virginized him with the same pole.

I am the one and only though, nothing comparable, and I am part of racing.....

Very nice! One of my favorites, too. I've got a photo of him with Baeza's autograph, framed and hanging in my office.

Very cool.
Actually, two of mine carry Dr Fager blood. He sired a mare named Remedia, the dam of Too Chic, the dam of Alpargata (sire Alydar), dam of Daygata (Dayjur by Danzig). One is a 2yo filly, Darlin' by Day, one is a yearling colt, Daring Day.

Also, your avitar is very good.
