YASOI (Yet Another Site Of Interest)

Here is another site you may or may not know about.

www.archives.org (http://www.archives.org) The internet archive.

It's almost like a google time machine.


Heres a few Horse Racing related videos I found on there.

http://www.archive.org/details/1945-05-14_Beaten_Nazis_Sign_Historic_Surrender - End of the clip, tracks gear up for a new season after war time black out. 30,000 turn out at Narragansett Park in Rhode Island to watch the races.

http://www.archive.org/details/1956-05-21_Armed_Forces_display_US_Might - End of the clip, 1956 Preakness 30,000 turn out to see Needles and Fabius battle it out in the second leg of the Triple crown. Garden State Park Nashua tries to pass Citation to become the all time money leader.

http://www.archive.org/details/WillieSh1950 - Willie Shoemaker tries to break track record at Golden Gate Fields

http://www.archive.org/details/Computer1987_3 - News segment talking about computers and gambling. Old handicapping software shown here, I think it was called Best Bet.

http://www.archive.org/details/1938-11-02_Light_Tanks_Show_Their_Prowess - End of the clip - The classic Seabiscuit War Admiral match race

http://www.archive.org/details/the_great_mike - old horse racing movie 1944 (full) didnt watch it yet, but acording to the reviews doesnt sound good. I'm still going to check it though..lol

http://www.archive.org/details/kentucky_blue_streak1935 - Another full horse racing movie to watch, from 1935. Reviews of this one make it seem better than the previously mentioned film. I have not seen this one either yet, but will check it out when I get some free time.

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.drf.com - can go back in time and look at old DRF articles from selected dates going back to 1997. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.drf.com/news/content/1.html - also works to access some old news, not all the links work when you get one of the old pages up actually so you might have to dig around.

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.drf.com/results/rindex.html - this actually throws up a bunch of old past results going back to 2001. Not every date is available and it is not charts only results.
