Same here. My Dad is a WWII vet. 2 years ago he fractured his vertebrae and is unable to drive anymore. Once a week, I take him to the track to bet, and make bets a few more times a week. It's our bond. He's a bettor, I like the stories and the horses. He wasn't doing great in 2013, so I got tickets for the Derby. He was like a new man that day! So I think many of us have the father-son racing bond. Thanks for your memories!
