They all were wonderfully impressed by how beautiful and clean Arlington was, how excited all the owners were, and how exciting it was to "know" a real horse that was racing that day.
We all stood in line, with a very nice and helpful mutual teller, as I lead them one by one through how to place a $2, "across the board" bet on Sumwon. They couldn't believe how much FUN the DT owners were having that day.
My 70-something aunt just telephoned. I had sent her the DT Prospectus for DT-2. Well, she and her four tennis-playing buddies at the local club WANT IN on DT 2 for one share. Two of them want to upgrade their computers to learn how to "search the net" and read the DeeTee Stables blog, and learn more about horse racing.
You go, girls! I told them, yes, absolutely, I hope they follow through with it, and go for it.

I was keeping people at work up to date on Sumwon and they seemed really excited for me. They even bet her a few times. Then I asked them if they wanted to get in on 07-02 and they said, "what do you think I am? stupid" so then I ask my horse playing buddies. ummm, no.
I guess horse ownership isn't for everyone. But I'm glad your relatives had a good tme and want to get in on the next horse. Hopefully a All-Weather type.
