The most valuable trophy in American Sports
The elegant Woodlawn Vase, originally created by Tiffany and Company in 1860 as a trophy for the now defunct Woodlawn Racing Association in Louisville, is presented annually to the Preakness winner.
The beautiful silver design assessed in 1983 for $1 million, is easily the most valuable trophy in American sports.
A smaller sterling silver replica, valued at $30,000, requires twelve weeks of a silversmith's hand tooling by Kirk Stieff, a division of Lenox. It is awarded to the winning owner of the Preakness Stakes on a permanent basis. The perpetual is on display at The Baltimore Museum of Art and is brought to Pimlico Race Course under guard for the annual running of the Preakness.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.
