Derby Pace

[cmorioles]

I remember going to the new Garden State Park to watch Spend A Buck win the Cherry Hill Mile and the Garden State Stakes, both times drubbing the Maryland based and King Leatherbury trained I Am the Game. He was going to be the biggest bet of my life in the Derby at the time, which probably was about $20. However, since I was turning 18 the next day and going in the Air Force a few days later, I got suckered into spending all my time with my girlfriend and/or partying.

Of course I never saw her again. If I did, I'd be sure to tell her I haven't forgiven her for costing me $82.
