 Authentic 103rd Kentucky Derby Race Seattle Slew Full 
Las Vegas Sports book Vintage Betting Odds Post Time Sheet Used in Race

This sheet has been in my families' possession for the last 47 years since the night of May 7th 1977.  This is the actual Sports book Horse Racing Odds Betting Line sheet used for the race in Las Vegas, Nevada.  My parents both worked in casinos in the 60's and 70's in Las Vegas and my father being a bartender was able to acquire this (and the other two Affirmed listed separately on eBay).

Back in the 70's they didn't have computer sports book wagering like all of them do now.  They didn't even have the ceiling high white boards that they had in the late 80's and 90's.  These were the old school method of Sports book Graphic Printed sheets that came right after the chalk board era, with the names of the horses and the jockey were actually written manually above the horse, since they did not have another sheet, any spelling errors made like on Papelote had to have masking tape over it with corrections written on the tape.

This was the actual post time race sheet used for the historic race with the actual time of race betting line being precise at what each horse went off at.  These sheets were trashed right after each race, but my mother was a racing lover, until her last few years when she got into horse rescue and couldn't bear to watch a race in fear of a horse having to be put down, with the occasional peak here and there.  She actually acquired this 103rd Derby race time odds sheet right after the race had ended.  

She passed in 2021 and i can not remember for the life of me which Sports book she got this at, but i am like 99% pretty sure that it was from a Vegas Downtown Casino Sports book where my father was a bartender.  Was either the Union Plaza, The Las Vegas Saratoga club or Derby turf club.
I have included some stock photos of 70's race and sports book places in Vegas so you can see the clear resemblance of the sheets with a big time race of the Derby, Preakness, or Belmont having a little more graphics.  But otherwise they are spot on.

Sheets back then hung on the wall and had two clips at the top to hold them in place, so when you had the previous races before it, there sometimes was marker bleeding over from the previous race, but this did not occur on this sheet.

This sheet is in phenomenal shape measuring like 38x19 inches.  It has been well kept and only has a small tear on the bottom right side near the 4.60 marker writing.  There is some crinkling lite on the left opposite side, but the corners are very nice.  There are some small age stains seen mostly towards the bottom, but i think they add to the overall presentation.  

This was originally rolled up like an old map, but has been flattened extremely careful but i would highly recommend it being shipped rolled up again since it tends to naturally want to curve since that is how it was stored, but will stay flat continuously for framing if so desired for the future.  But i would be rolling it in a smaller tube and then bubble wrapping the tube and placing it in a larger box with peanut foam as well
