Post Time with My Father

In April of 2004, while visiting my parents in New York, my dad and I took a trip to Belmont. The main purpose of the outing was to bet on a horse my husband’s employer was running in Kentucky. It was my father who suggested we go to the track to place our bets. I’m sure he didn’t think the local OT...Read More

12thCrown · The best blog of the day! I envy your time with your dad --my father passed on last year, but I carry on his spirit. My "track momemt" with dad was seeing him drop a $100 bill on a 5-2 favorite at Oaklawn at the urging of my Uncle "Shell". Seeing a man from the depression era wager a hundo was something, as he was more nervous than at any other time I saw him. He was relieved when the chalk came in first and banked enough for a nice dinner for our whole family. Life was good in Hot Springs on that day and my dad will always be with me at the track. Thanks for the post! · 341 days ago ·

ruffian75 · I was out of work, and living with my folks. I was going stir crazy, and pop asked me, "You want to go to the races?" He knew I was really battling turmoil, being out of work, and I didn't undestand his line of questioning, for he never bet a race. We were so far from a track, but the closest was La Downs in Bossier City, LA. We went, and I hit 5 straight races at a foreign track. Pop never bet a race, but he watched in admiration. He gave me a real thrill that I will never forget. Thanks, pop, you are, and were, my hero. I miss you. · 341 days ago ·

LizSnedden · great story....thought at first you were brought along up w/ the racing Phipps and it's long time history in the throughbred business, Refreshing to find out otherwise. It's wonderful of you to share your story and to help bring newer, younger, appreciative and enthusiastic(sp?) people to horse racing ..... Thank you... keep up the good work and enjoy the ponies :) · 340 days ago ·
