The big weekend is just days away. We looked forward to this day about an hour after last year concluded, and it has the feel of an event that will not disappoint. I am a planner by nature and can be a bit of a worry-wart. Here is what you can expect as far as […]
Do you going to the races? Papaw or Uncle Don would pick up a DRF the day before, and they would be studying at the kitchen table most of the night. You would check the weather, get up early, and off you would go! It was the whole process of talking about our plans, getting ready, and […]

The return of horse racing. Not that it has gone anywhere, or has been hiding behind a slot machine. But for 17-days in October you would swear that heaven has fallen to Lexington, Kentucky. The Fall Meet at Keeneland Race Course is one of the rare treasures that fans from all walks can enjoy together. From […]

I was ed two weeks ago by a manager from a local race track. He is versed in his field and knows how to make a buck. This guy wears more hats than many, and is involved in all areas of the game. So why is he calling?… I know I could bring a up a point or […]
When my local cable company began offering the racing package, I knew there was going to be an indention on my couch cushion. We were offered TVG in the beginning, and it stayed on for quite sometime. Then came along HRTV. I have to say it took awhile, but eventually it took over and became […]
I was sitting in the TV studio enjoying a cheap cigar. I did the pre-race handicapping, and today we were venturing into a new area. There was going to be a retired rider who would do the post-race interview. She was beautiful, and had the confidence to go along. That was until they started counting her […]
