Ft. Lauderdale, FL --- Would you like to own Dave Palone’s helmet, autographed to you, from his world record dashsetting drive last year? Or how about the whips used by Stanley Dancer and Duenna winning the Hambletonian in 1983; Bill O’Donnell and Nihilator in the Breeders Crown; John Campbell and Mack Lobell in their world record time trial and Mike Lachance and Shady Daisy in the Breeders Crown? All in a beautiful shadow box display with photographs!

Perhaps getting two VIP Pavilion passes on Little Brown Jug Day is more your style, or a gift basket from Hoosier Park with dinner for two at the Homestretch Steakhouse, $100 in casino cash, t-shirts, hats and other goodies? Maybe you just want a relaxing four-day, three-night hotel stay and dinner for two at Shula’s Steakhouse at the Westin Beach Resort & Spa in Ft. Lauderdale?

How about the classic Leroy Neiman artwork “Saratoga” featuring Stanley Dancer and Nevele Pride setting the world record in 1968? This Artist’s Proof autographed serigraph may soon become priceless.
