Commemorate Triple Crown Winners with Memorabilia

Now that Father's Day has come and gone, you might be thinking this year's present wasn't the best. After all, there's only so many ties or aftershave you can give. Next year, if your dad loves the ponies, you might find the perfect gift for him at a website that specializes in memorabilia. If you’ve never considered purchasing sports memorabilia before, you’ll be surprised at the variety of mementoes available, and the stylish presentations you’ll find for everything from photographs of Triple Crown Winners to replica collections of Kentucky Derby race cards. Not sure what your dad will like best when it comes to horse racing memorabilia? These gift ideas may help you decide.

Triple Crown Winners

Triple Crown winners hold a special place in the heart of horse fans the world over. Taking first place in the three major races of the horse racing season is a rare accomplishment, and the horses, and their riders, who achieve it earn a place in history. Even those who aren’t racing fans know the names Seattle Slew, Secretariat and Affirmed. For the dad who appreciates the finest horseflesh, you’ll find framed photos, often signed by the jockey, of Triple Crown winners, as well as collages that include photos, paintings and prints of all three in one frame. For the true connoisseur – or as a grace note for your man room decoration – a signed, limited edition print of “Triple Crown Champions” by world-renowned watercolor artist, Michael McCann is the ultimate gift.

Kentucky Derby Wall Art and Décor

As the opening race of the season, the Kentucky Derby is as much a social event as it is a racing event. When it comes down to the racing, though, it’s breathless excitement from the starting gate to the finish line. Capture both the excitement and the history of the Kentucky Derby in wall displays that combine photos of famous Derby winners with Derby memorabilia, such as tickets, newspaper prints with the results of famous races and the signatures of famous jockeys.

Famous Horse Photos

Start dad off on a hobby of collecting photos of some of the most famous horses of all time. It’s not just a “horse photo” when the subject is Seabiscuit, Man o’ War, Secretariat, Barbaro or this year’s Derby winner, Animal Kingdom. You can choose from portraits, finish line photos, winners circle photos and action shots that capture the beauty and grace of magnificent animals doing what they do best.

If horses aren’t your dad’s thing, you’ll still find many memorabilia gift ideas when you search online. From team photos and autographed practice shirts to celebrity photos featuring some of the biggest stars in history, memorabilia gifts offer a walk down memory lane to your special dad – and who deserves it more?
