Can't get too cranked up about Jake being on the show. It's not only his father's way of life, but his mother's as well. It's ENTERTAINMENT!!!

My 11 year old daughter has her own DRF account and is always downloading PP's and stealing my Blood Horse. She was all over Unwritten in the 2nd at Monmouth and gave it out to everyone in the box. She also had the 6th exacta cold. Her ROI was more than mine on the day. When her teacher wanted to know why she was carrying the Racing Form, she told her it was helping her with fractions. She gets up with me at 4:30 to visit the stable and asks the trainer some real intellignet questions.

University of Arizona it is!!!

The tote board taught my daughter fractions, ratios, figuring payouts
before they come up and she loves the races. But hates losing her money. She has to repay me with work.
No way she gambles now.

And UT it is.
With no interest in horses whatsoever, but still loves to go to the track.
She will miss the meet this year though which was a dissappointment for
both of us.
