Help Find 1983 Darby Downs Race Programs

Postby tackroom » Wed Nov 15, 2006 6:58 am

I'm looking for 3 specific 1983 Race Programs carded at Darby Downs (now Beulah Park) in Ohio:

October 10, 1983
October 13, 1983
October 30, 1983

Yes, i've checked ebay with no luck over the past year. I did get the entries and results from old microfilmed newspapers but the newspaper never lists the jockeys that rode in the races beyond those that finished 1,2,3. Nor does it list any owners, or trainers.

I would accept a xerox copy of the race program, or the original program. Can anybody help?

Why don't you express what you're trying to find, or trying to prove?

Perhaps with that information somebody can help you.

At the very least, your heading should begin with a reference to Beulah Park, so those in the area, with extensive old program collections, might be caused to notice your request.

At least tell us what you're trying to establish with the old programs?

Not trying to prove or establish anything, the facts are already known after all these years, but the devil is in the details. Just want to read original copies of the race programs from these race dates, I consider to have historical Ohio racing significance (that's my opinion others may disagree).

I intentionally listed the post with Darby Downs in the headline, as I figured an avid program collector would already know that at one time Beulah Park held races under the name of Darby Downs briefly (Darby Downs programs are probably worth more $$$ today because there is a limited supply of them). Plus I didn't want people that have only Beulah programs to waste there time looking at the post.

Sorry if there was any confusion, just leaving breadcrumbs in all the places i can think of to try to find copies of these particular Race Programs. I understand it will be a needle in a haystack sort of search....
