You know you're too much into racing when....
 
You think Monster.com is a site that tells of the exploits of runners like Spectacular Bid and Seattle Slew.

You know you're tooooo much into racing when...
 
You bring a whip , googles & blinkers and find out its a S & M party !

JJP 01-12-2007 09:45 AM

When your girlfriend or wife asks if you like it hot and wet and you respond, "I've never had a good feel for muddy tracks".

DerbyCat 01-12-2007 10:53 AM

When you're in a meeting with your boss and he asks you for your thoughts, and you reply, "I really like the angle of Wolfson/Castro on the turf".

When your mom calls you to tell her grandpa died and you say Ill be home after the Derby. Rest in peace gramps, I know you would have understood

After you see a true stallion go at it in person you'll never look at a naked man again without some disappointment. ;)

after you see a maiden mare go to the shed you have a whole new understanding of gang rape.

Balletto 01-12-2007 11:33 AM

Isnt that the truth? I think it gave me a major complex for a while. They even put boards behind her legs so she couldnt kick... that sound she made. OMG. :eek:

when you've got a zillion things to do, but instead you go to YouTube to watch Alyshba and Ferdinand hit the wire together yet again in the '87 Classic:

Its not the size, its how you use it that's important.

I am, of course, referring to my trip notes notebook.

Ditto, Sightseek. A vacation isn't a vacation at all unless I'm going to a track:D

brianwspencer 01-12-2007 11:53 AM

The first real vacation (ie, not for a show/event/family gathering) you take in years is to go to Gulfstream Park and meet friends from Derby Trail. :D

I felt pretty bad for Dixieland Band who clearly was not interested in the task at hand.

TheSpyder 01-12-2007 02:03 PM

You ditch school in 11th grade on Yom Kipper and B-line to the Big T (Thistledowns) for the first post. Not sure how God thought about it, but had a good day as I remember.

I remember being in 11th grade and cutting school in January to go to Buelah with $20. Thing is, we lived in Detroit.

That's too cute!

AeWingnut 01-12-2007 04:04 PM

I schedule my vacation around horse racing and have my calendar marked with big stakes days. Doesn't everyone?

It's bad when you have dreams of getting photo-ed out at the wire

DJK 01-12-2007 04:14 PM

When you suggest possible vacation sites to your husband and he sighs and asks, "Where's the race track?"

When your 6yr old daughters essay on what you did during your holidays says
Went to the track to watch my horse win.

go to any Off Track or track and there will be at least a 9 to 1 ratio but it's probably hard to find one in your age group
because all of the younger guys are where the younger gals are

When you try to convince your wife to have your newborn childs christening party at Monmouth Park.

... When you take a female to a race track and she hits a 65k triple, because they all wore pink front bands on their legs.
