I would be surprised if the kid had 4 nickels to rub together by the time he was 30

Andy,

It was a great show and no reason to backtrack on the idea. The kid is already a horsey star from First Saturday In May. It not like this exposed him to anything he's not already seen. In fact, he's seen most likely a lot more than we have. Since he wants to be in racing and not a jockey or trainer, he looks the part to be little Jake unseating little Andy in 10 years..better watch out!

As for the other guy I think you commented he was one of your worst guests, or something like that on the air. Good handicapping. Jakes impression of him was priceless!

Again, great show and nice change up from the usual guests.

If your not the kids mother or father then what buisness is it of yours to say its wrong for the kid to pick horses. Raise you own children.

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.
