Gave up the weed about 40 years ago but not sure I'm picking any better. Still do the same dumb stuff. Don't really want to go on the weed, but a bunch of my track buddies do that and we all make those same mistakes.

So I kinda feel bad. I don't have any excuses. However, I've won some and lost some and am OK with that. I've bought every house I've ever owned with winnings from the track. I've paid off every mortgage I've ever had with winnings from the track.

Why stop here? Why not tell us about the time that you rode a Kentucky Derby winner?
