They feigned interest but said they would watch.
I called some friends and told them to be sure and go to the OTB and bet her...
after the race my cellphone is ringing off the hook. congratulating me on the win.
My sister admitted to me that the neighbors had to hear her yelling at the TV. 
I brought in donuts to celebrate at work and had everyone coming by to hear how she came from 15 lengths back to win.
It was almost an outerbody experience cheering Kickin N Screamin on as she showed up on the turn and mowed 'em all down.
Thanks Steve, Chuck, TC, Scavs and everyone else involved. This is a dream come true. |
Have to say that when I heard the race replay on ATR, I still got chills down my spine. (And don't worry, Steve -- me and the thousands of people who were listening won't tell anyone how you got choked up on the air like Sally Field at the '85 Oscars.)
