btw randall, someone who wants to adopt a small child to use as a jockey should not criticize the parenting of others;)

Mera, if you didn't realize I was joking, something is wrong....I even included a smiley face for you!

When I Took my boys to the track!!

I took my 8 and 11 year old boys to the track this past summer. Of course not just any track.....The SPA. Anyway they had a great time. Of course the highlight of the day was a 46-1 shot named Baxter trained by John Hertler and ridden by Kent Desormeaux. Well, Baxter is the name of our cat, so we all had win tickets on Baxter. Well, ole Baxter was sitting last entering the far turn when he decided to start running. He came flying home in the stretch and won by a nose. My boys were jumping up and down, even my wife was fired up. After the race we caught up with Desormeaux and told him the story. The boys had there picture taken with them. If people have a problem with that, then I guess that's just too bad.
