For most handicappers, you dream of the day when you’ll bring your son or daughter to the races. It takes you back to a simpler time as you held your grandpa’s hand, or walked along with Dad into the large building.

Each year, I await a package in the mail. It comes from a gent who is a real racing fan. You will see him at the big events, and he even married his bride at the Breeders’ Cup. You could say he kinda enjoys the races. This labor of love has been passed from his late father […]
