Not without them ... Posted with JB's approval.

Good day everybody ... Hope everybody is enjoying the holiday season.

For all the talk about who the main players are in this game we love, I think we can all agree that it wouldnt be possible without the Jockey. We all know how dangerous it is, and they put their lives on the line for our pleasure. Keeping that in mind, I am going to attempt to rid myself of various racing memorabilia/collectables/junk and donate any proceeds to the PDJF. Any thoughts on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated. These items came to me from a longtime hoarding horse racing loving friend. The collection includes books (Ainsle, Robertson,Longrigg) photos (Ruffian, John Henry, Slew) Glasses (KY Drby, Prkns, Belmont) Buttons and some old Saratoga giveaways. One is currently on loan to the racing museum. Looking for some feedback on making this possible. If anyone is in the Saratoga area and would like to assist, please reach out. Thanks again everybody. Happy Holidays.

Niall,

I am probably related to your long time hoarding friend.

When my wife first visited my old apartment, she needed to crawl between piles of old Racing Forms, Wall Street Journals and Barrons.

I have a few hundred racing glasses, programs, old Colonel Phillips memorabilia from the 1920\'s and 1930\'s. And so on.

I might be interested in some of the stuff and/or help you find a buyer.
Feel free to e-mail me at rdwyer@epix.net.

I live in N.E. Pa about 4 hours to Saratoga. Figure I can visit relatives in Schenectady, grab Frank in Albany and treat you all to a steak at the Cliff\'s Country Inn in Malta.

Great cause and great gesture on your part.

Bob,

I never lived in Albany although 5-6 days per week at the old tele theater for about 20 years kind of seemed like it! I\'m a Schenectady boy and have even given Richiebee a few guided tours. I\'m in Clifton Park now cutting my Spa commute down to 15 minutes and am up for a steak at Cliffs haven\'t been there in a bit. Please send me a private message if your coming up and I\'ll give you my new cell number, you have my old one.

Niall, I may also be interested in some of your life\'s treasures.

Good luck,

Frank D.
