Good work gang.

Hi Caleb: That is a role that Keeneland plays for our industry and they do a great job preserving racing’s history. Unfortunately, the resources needed for preserving and providing access to 1000s of racing videos might be beyond their capacity at this point. I am sure Keeneland would welcome a significant donation from the industry to do this work but I don’t think they have the resources to do it right now. Again, if I am wrong about this please let me know…
