In a time when racing was reaching it’s peak, before simulcasting, on-line betting and greyhound parks in every town, I was introduced to the sport of kings at one of the top tracks in the mid-west, Ak-Sar-Ben in Omaha, Nebraska. Notice how the crowd was so large they had to park the cars in the infield. It was a couple years before Secretariat would crush the field in the triple crown and set off the horse racing bubble of the 70’s and 80’s. My site and this blog is dedicated to remembering those horsemen who went before us and to help educate and promote horse racing to all, especially to the next generation.
