My father thinks gambling is stupid... yet he invests in the stock market

I got into the races when I was looking for something to do one weekend and saw that Bay Meadows was open... asked a friend to go and I've been addicted ever since. I never would have imagined when I started that I'd understand what all the small numbers and letters in the Form mean, or that I'd have several on-line accounts and watch TVG religiously... I never knew it could be this good!

that's funny MY father thinks horses are stupid...he grew up on a cattle ranch and the first thing he did when he turned 18 was enlist in the army to get away from the farm....he's probably not entirely pleased that his daughter went back.

Colonial Downs - you will have a new friend in T3B, whose real name is GPK. We need to wiggle Arlington into that fray. I also nailed Pleasant Home, that was a great day in the Bellagio Sportsbook.

Welcome

Welcome everyone.

And my father got me into the sport as well. Sometimes that man could drive a Saint to drink, but I am thankful for him allowing my passion to grow.

My Miss Storm Cat! Thanks for the warm welcome! I've been reading you here for a while and I don't know what the international horses would do without you. (On all forums) Thanks for keeping everyone, including myself, updated on those guys. You have nearly singlehandedly brought them to the forefront on these forums.

First Flame accidently registered under another name here and is in the process of hopefully getting that changed. He'll be posting before long. Thanks for asking!

Happy New Year to you!!!
