Yes i follow the turfway circuit quite closely in winter in fact i went there a number of weekends this year.



So maybe you know the horse but it is also possible that he resembles many other horses. This topic was about LITF which reminded me of him because they look similar.

Yes, it was definitely a weekend day. He had a blaze on the left side of his head, similar to LITF. Turfway's not a very pleasant place, too many degenerate gambling types, but I still like to take pictures there! Who says claimers can't be good looking?

It is not the same class of track as arlington or del mar but i have visited those places.


The gamblers are nice people too. I try to talk to them and they are helpful with my bets although my real purpose for going is to look at the horses and I usually bring my new camera which was a Christmas gift because I am still learning how to try it out.

How old is your son, if he is the same age as me maybe we would get along.



Also I can use some pointers so we should meet up some time then. Then I can show you how to place small bets like win and exacta so that you will have nothing to be intimidated about.

Oh, I think he's a little young for you- he's just turned 14 now. About to start high school- I remember those days! (My husband actually bought me the camera, but wrapped it up and put my oldest son as the giver, how sweet of him!)

I'm not sure about the gambling part. I wouldn't want to get upset if the horse I like loses!

Well mostly all of my friends are college students but i certainly don't mind helping a fellow track fan in need.

That is a shame your husband doesn't like the track. But really I can help you with the bets it makes it fun, and you won't be too sad about losing. I will teach you to read programs, that is the first thing you need to learn.
