Racing Silks....?

Question

Does anyone know where I can get used Racing Silks preferably from Saratoga, Ellis Park, Hoosier Park, or Mountaineer?

Answer 1

You might try find owners who have quit the horse racing business and retired their silks.  If they are not attached to them as a keepsake they maybe willing to part with them.  Most tracks require owners to submit their own silks.  Some tracks still have and use what they call house silks.  House silks are very plain usually colored to match the numbered saddle towels used.  But these are not thrown out and replaced until they are well used and worn.  I don't know what the tracks do with the house silks when they do replace them.

Answer 2

try ebay

Answer 3

Silks are not thrown away after each race, they are cleaned and kept for the next race they are needed in.

If you are after a specific owners' colours you are best off writing to the owner and asking if you can have an old set.

I wouldn't hold your breath though.
