Been a thoroughbred horse racing fan since the mid 70's. It is far and away my favorite sport, for the sheer gallantry of the horses. Most of my "collection" consists of prints, autographed photos, pins (Ruffian/Foolish Pleasure match race and such). Believe it or not, I'm considering getting a lawn statue from an outfit in Saratoga Springs who will make and custom paint them in your own colors if so desired. The sport has a traditon as rich as any in the world.
