To find some quickly, go to the yahoo search bar and type horses, or whatever you are specifically looking for. You will get current and past/resolved questions. I did this with bass fishing, and found hundreds of questions with great info.  You can also do an advanced search and find more specific information.  Good luck!

Not real sure. You need to go hang around the Horse Track and get talking. You will meet Trainers just keep an eye open and talk to them. You could get you a $5,000 claiming horse and it already know some. Work with it and try to win a few races and people start knowing you. Then look around and buy a reasonable 1-2 year old to start from scratch. You hang around the track you will figure it out.

The first link in the Source(s) block is a Sacramento Bee news article. You might check with the paper for personal contact information. They are already doing what you are planning to start.\n\nThe second link includes resources for business plans, tax assistance, and other helpful information.\n\nThe third link provides legislative information affecting, and regarding the horse industry.\n\nThose are just a few basic searches using Google for results. Those listed might be a good place to start gathering information.

You can subscribe to the Thoroughbred Times or you could log onto ThoroughbredTimes.com and search, page by page. There is also a stallion directory on the web page of Thoroughbred Times which lists, some with photo's, every stallion standing at stud. That stallion directory will tell you the name of the farm where the horse is standing at stud. You may write or telephone that particular farm and discuss your intentions with them and ask to get in touch with the owner of the horse. \n\nYou may go to the library and retrieve, by exact date, any date from any publication, including the New York Times-Sports section, Blood Horse (which also has a web site), Sports Illustrated, etc., for a particular horse, i.e., Secretariat in the winners circle wearing a wreath. \n\nThe racetrack within your community running their racing  program, public relations office, may also be another way of getting photo's of horses with winning wreaths around their necks. If you are looking for any horse with a wreath around his neck, try visiting any racetrack with a high digitaL camera, 4MP or greater with a zoom lense-without a flash (so as not to scare or frieghten the horse) and snap away. Check with the security office or the racing secretary's office before you take your camera to the racetrack and talk to them as to your intentions.\n\nBarnes and Noble may also carry books and publications on horses who have won races. Laura Hillenbrand wrote an excellent book on Seabiscuit which was made into an oscar nominated film. Blockbuster may also carry films on horses and films of famous races. \n\nAlso, Set Your VCR-DVD recorder on Kentucky Derby day on the first weekend in May or any other race telecasted within your community-state on the date the race is televised. Download the DVD onto your computer and print out the horse with a wreath around its neck.

This completely depends on the horse. If you're asking as a gambling tip, you're better off asking about a specific horse. You need to take in their workouts, their racing style, their trainer, and even their jockey.

I just love Derby trivia. Ok the first was Regret in 1915, then Genuine Risk in 1980, and finally Winning Colors in 1988. I worked on the farm where Colors is now a broodmare, and just so you know she is one of the hatefullest mares to ever live. This is common opinion by the way. Just an interesting tidbit about her, she was in foal to Unbridled in 2001, the foal would have been the first to have Derby winners as both dam and sire, but unfortunately she aborted due to MRLS and as yet she has not been bred to another of the Derby winners standing stud.

Here is the profile for your grandfather as posted here\nhttp://www.kentuckyderby.com/2006/derby_history/african_americans_in_the_derby/jockeys.html#olewis\n\n Let me say it is an honor to be the first to answer your question. Oliver Lewis helped to develop the system used to collect the past performance information for documenting the record for all races a horse has run in his lifetime. He founded my hobby and many owe him partial credit for our success and enjoyment of thoroughbred horses and racing. Fantastic question and I wish you the best of luck in your search.\n\n I suggest that you use the information from the Kentucky Derby website to research for any living relatives of the trainer, owner or breeder of Aristides. They may be able to provide you with historical information you can use to learn more about your truly great grandfather. \n\nIf you would like I can post your question to my personal network of horseracing associates and see if someone smarter than I am can provide you with some better suggestions. I have in mind one gentleman in particular who is now 84 years old and been handicapping since the 1920's. It' entirely possible he may have a story relevant to your gr. grandfather. I expect he would revell in the telling of it if indeed he did.\n\nI wish you much the best in your search.\n\nOliver Lewis:\n\nOliver Lewis rode Aristides to a two-length upset victory in the inaugural running of the Derby in 1875. The time, 2:37 3/4, established an American record for the 1 1/2 miles. Lewis was instructed to send Aristides to the lead to ensure a fast pace and set up the race for stablemate Chesapeake. He sent Aristides to the front and as the field rounded the far turn and headed for home, Chesapeake was far behind. The owner of the two horses, H. Price McGrath, told Lewis "Go on!" when he looked over at McGrath for a sign. Later that year he guided Aristides to a second in the Belmont. He won three races during Churchill's inaugural meet to take the honor as leading rider. Lewis never rode in another Kentucky Derby but was on hand for the 33rd running in 1907. Detailed information is not available, but it was reported that he later worked for a bookmaker (legal at the time) an provided detailed information on how the horses ran. This method of race result notes was later developed into charts which served as a forerunner to the Daily Racing Form and Equibase systems.
