Beside the obvious thankfulness for my family and loved ones, I can honestly say that I am thankful for horse racing. Less than four years ago, I was a workaholic with no hobbies and very little life (a slight exaggeration but close) but then I found the track - I found a hobby and something that mentally challenged me, addicted me and never ceased to amaze me. I'm still a bit of a workaholic but now when I am away from work, I don't think about work, I think about the races.
I am truly thankful for a $4,000 claimer by the name of Proud Patrolman - he has been a part of my days at the track since I first fell in love with this sport and my current goal in life is to provide a retirement home for this nine year old warrior - my partner and I are working to get Proud Patrolman a home with GEVA, a home for retired horses. They do amazing work and I'm a proud supporter of their work - if you'd like to thank an organization that takes care of our favorite former athletes, please go to
