We have all gone out for a few races with a short bankroll in pocket. Not everyday is Breeders’ Cup, and you can still have some fun until that dough gets rolling. I had a message on my phone and didn’t think to take it until late last night. When I finally did, it was a […]

I worked for a very nice little racetrack. It had a turf course, a solid oval, and a loyal customer base.
