Does anyone know of a resource that gives the actual date (month/day/year) for the running of stakes races over the years. I'm wanting to look at the charts for particular stakes going back a numer of years. When you go to Equibase or Brisnet to retrieve historical charts they want the specfic date and the track. Track is not a problem, but the American Racing Manual doesn't give the month and day of each running. In this case I'm looking at a few NYRA stakes, but a more general source would be useful. NYRA's website is one of the best at providing historical information, but they don't have the month/day either, and in a case like this where not many people would care they're right not to waste the space.

There is a public accessible DRF archive via the U.of Kentucky. A good friend wrote about it here: http://www.leftcoastracing.com/article/185/daily-racing-form-archives-on-line
