About me/racing interests:
I have been in racing as an owner/breeder/trainer and racing official. I love the racetrack and the horses, the characters that abound at the track.

How did I get into racing?
Worked in a restraunt and the owner took me to visit some friends of thiers and they had racehorses. They gave me foal out of a mare that had been covered by a teaser..The gelding could run some and got hooked on racing in Texas..Since then I watched San San win the Arc, and a lot of nice horses thru the years..

Favorite racing moment?
Seeing the triple crown run of Secretariat in 1973. Ruffian match race, Forego racing. Port Conway Lane running..
