NASCAR and thoroughbreds--my life's passion, exceeded only by the love of the music of Duane Allman's band.
All discussed with passion here today.
I think the only way I ever leave here is feet first.
I fell in love with horse racing the first time I went. The highest highs, the lowest lows. Cigar's gritty run in the Dubai World Cup....Go For Wand going down in the Breeders Cup. It can take you to the clouds, it can break your heart....kinda' like life itself, I guess.
Rest in peace, Barbaro. A fighter indeed. The heart of a champion. Just too eager to go in the Preakness.
This has been one of the good years, I have to pay taxes on my track winnings.
I'll remember the gallant Barbaro when I write the check. He gave his life to entertain us, helped me make a buck along the way. A master at what he did, another one that left this world way too soon. Thanks for the memories.
