I spent 28 years of my life at the track every single day. Live days, dark days, and wouldn't trade any of it for anything.

Thanks for the pictures sir.
Which track were most of those days spent?

Laurel, Bowie, Pimlico, and Timonium .
Wherever the races were, I was there. Everyday.
A few summers at Monmouth and Delaware Park before summer racing started in Md.
Did you ever follow Md racing back then?
Only Pimlico on the big-race days @str but I bet all the tracks one form or fashion when I used to spend a lot of time there in college and in my late 20s

Glad I broke that habit. More fun to do it occasionally for me

In order to do it the right way, betting horses is terribly time consuming. That said, glad you enjoy it and I hope you bet on a winner of mine back in the day.
Happy holidays to you .

Preakness has always been my favorite horse racing event. Been to about 6 of them. Sat in different areas. Each experience was tremendous. Better than Oaks/Derby, better than Belmont. In my opinion.

Attended the following:

Point Given
War Emblem
Funny Cide
Smarty Jones
Bernardini
Curlin

Maryland puts on a great show.

Wow. Amazing stuff

Never forget Smarty Jones year. Such an exciting run. Day I married my ex was day he lost Belmont. Should have known it was doomed

Wilson is a guy I missed out on last meet and he had a handful of bombs. He trains for early speed, and that’s how the dirt course has been playing. This horse’s pps suggest more of a stalker, but Wilson has only had him for one start, so I’m expecting to be in the top flight at the start.

Risked $24

Saffie Juice is tough to beat. 1 looked like he was going right by for length of stretch. Annoying.
