When did you.....

[my miss storm cat]

..... become a racing fan? Were you taken to the track as a kid or did you fall in love with a certain horse, ie the post-9/11 we-need-a-hero-and-his-name-is-Smarty-Jones mentality? Were you taken to the track by friends or did you just kinda stumble into it, or did you grow up around horses and have a natural interest?

Tell me your story.
