Hall of Fame jockey Braulio Baeza raced for 22 years, riding many thoroughbred greats and racking up 3,140 victories, including three Belmont Stakes championships. Here's his Sterling silver prize as he was singled out in 1965. It contains the etching: "OUTSTANDING JOCKEY 1965 BRAULIO BAEZA FROM THE NEW YORK TURF WRITER'S ASSOCIATION SARATOGA SPRINGS AUGUST 13, 1966." It comes with a signed photo of Baeza, who retired in 1976.
