Earliest memory was Randall Park in Cleveland as an eight year old with my mom. She loved the races...and the rest is history.
Later growing up from 14 on would go to the Big T (Thistledowns) through high school. If you've been there you know you can only go up from there and next track was Churchil for the Derby.
Being in sales traveled the US taking in most tracks.
Why do I do this? The challenge, excitement, horses, the people. Yea, gambling is a big part of it but becoming less, especially thanks to Steve, in the enjoyment of learning more about the sport...and having your own (albeit small part) of a horse.
Bottomline it's one of the few things in life where you get back more than you put in.
