Straight from Count Fleet's 1943 Triple Crown season comes these three stellar programs from the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes. Interestingly, the Derby program contains only one staple as it should. During that year, the government only permitted one, not two staples, to save on metal for the war effort. As for the Belmont program this is the only one we have seen offered. This is the first Preakness we have seen offered in the past ten years. Condition is overall EX-MT. Count Fleet was and is the sentimental favorite of many collectors of today and race fans of the day.
