Much like the Green Jacket at the Masters, this authentic coat exudes triumph and class. Signed by Hall of Fame jockey Braulio Baeza, this jacket was presented to him in 1976 in Saratoga Springs, NY, at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. Baeza wore it on that day and to subsequent Hall of Fame activities and events over the years. It is in perfect, MT condition. Baeza followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather and began racing at age 15 in his native Panama. By the time he was 19, he had 309 race victories under his belt. Over the course of his 22-year career, Baeza had ridden 24 champion horses, including nine who share immortality with him at the Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, NY.
