I'm alot older than the rest of you. It was 1973 and a local sports writer is touting his chioce for the Kentucky Derby, Big Red. I was hooked for life after the Belmont that year.
My biggest thrill was going to the winners circle with my first horse and first time starter. A little 2 yo maiden filly that went wire to wire at Fairplex park in pomona, Calif. That was along time ago with a purse of $21,000 and she paid $17.60.
