racing posters?

[RuffianT21]

I'm looking for horse racing posters to hang on my walls. Basically I want racing photos of the greats (Secretariat, Ruffian, John Henry, etc) blown up to poster size (but not as prints, which cost a fortune). It seems like this should exist, but I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Does anyone have any leads for me? Thanks!

That is a great idea! Like if the great track had movie-type posters promoting their upcoming season. You could have that great shot of Churchill Downs with the twin spires and the horses thundering around the corner. And one of Keeneland with the horses under the trees getting saddled. And one of beautiful Hialeah with it's flamingos as a part of the Save Hialeah campaign!

I can think of many more. Someone with printing equipment get on that will ya?

But to answer your question...

I don't know of any already made, but there are plenty of internet sights that will allow you to make your own. For a fee of course.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I was quite optimistic about the custom sites, but in order to make a poster, you need a picture that's at least 1500 x 1500 pixels, which don't exist, at least not of the type of pictures I want.

There is a small poster of Ruffian on the cafepress website, so I may end up getting that.

Thanks again.
