David and Horse Racing
David Cassidy was still playing Keith Partridge on television when he bought his first yearling in 1974 at the Fasig-Tipton sales pavilion in Saratoga Springs. David, a New York native went back to Saratoga every summer since.
David was shown in many news segments from Saratoga and also in a DVD made by NYBreds in conjunction with New York Thoroughbred Breeders Inc. as an infomercial to encourage new owners of NY Bred Thoroughbreds.
