Complete run of Kentucky Derby programs from 1980 to 1989. What makes this collection unique is that each program has been signed on the interior by EVERY jockey for EVERY Derby race for a total of 176 signatures. All the signatures, scripted in a variety of inks (grading 9/10 on average), appear on or next to the jockey's respective horse listing for the Derby race. Because many of the jockeys rode in multiple Derby races, some signatures are represented more than one. Only the top jockeys earn the right to ride in the Derby, so it is not surprising that many of those whose signatures are featured here are now members of various racing Halls of Fame. Unless otherwise noted, all the programs are in Excellent condition and measure approximately 4x9". 1980 (13 sigs) including Jacinto Vasquez (winner), Laffit Pincay Jr., and Angel Cordero Jr. VG, with tape remnants on the front and back covers. 1981 (22 sigs) including Jorge Velasquez (winner), Bill Shoemaker, Laffit Pincay Jr., and Angel Cordero Jr. 1982 (20 sigs) including Eddie Delahoussaye (winner), Bill Shoemaker, Angel Cordero Jr., Laffit Pincay Jr., Pat Day, and Jorge Velasquez.
