The First time I ever went to the races was at Bowie I was about 11 years old and my uncle who has loved the horses and owned some later in life had a friend that was a trainer, It was a stakes races at Bowie and my uncle gave me a ticket to hold for him it was a $2 exacta box with the friends horse and he won the race and the exacta paid $132.00 and he gave me the ticket I thought I was rich,,, I will always remember the horse that won that day name was Isella (sp?) and ever since then I love the excitement of horse racing the thrill you get when they come to the finish line win lose or draw.
