Default Welcome Former 'Guests', Now DTers

Just a welcome to the former lurker-guests who have now registered as Derby Trailers.. We weren't looking to force people to register, but it just seemed like it will be more fun for those that were visiting regularly to be a part of things here...

You are heartily encouraged to introduce yourselves, talk about your racing-interest background, and whatever else that comes to mind..

The Paddock is a general race talk gather spot..

The Selections Room is like an Internet ATM as you probably know..

Off Topic Fun at the bottom of the main page..

International.. Trip Notes.. "Other Racing".. all self explanatory..

The Chas. Hatton Room contains archived classic threads..

Ask anyone whatever you need to know.. Feel confident that you will be well received. Our goal is to foster racing fans and grow the popularity of the game.

Thanks for signing on..

Steve

My name is Brandan and I am 19...
My favorite tracks to bet on are Woodbine, Turfway, Colonial Downs
I DO NOT bet Calder
I was at Saratoga last year for the first time and love it
I got hooked on racing because of my father
One of my biggest hits was Pleasant Home last year in the Breeders Cup

My father thinks gambling is stupid... yet he invests in the stock market

I got into the races when I was looking for something to do one weekend and saw that Bay Meadows was open... asked a friend to go and I've been addicted ever since. I never would have imagined when I started that I'd understand what all the small numbers and letters in the Form mean, or that I'd have several on-line accounts and watch TVG religiously... I never knew it could be this good!

that's funny MY father thinks horses are stupid...he grew up on a cattle ranch and the first thing he did when he turned 18 was enlist in the army to get away from the farm....he's probably not entirely pleased that his daughter went back.

Colonial Downs - you will have a new friend in T3B, whose real name is GPK. We need to wiggle Arlington into that fray. I also nailed Pleasant Home, that was a great day in the Bellagio Sportsbook.

Welcome

Hi, I'm Heather. I've followed this board for awhile now, but don't really bet, so mostly I just lurk. Thanks for the warm welcome and Happy New Years.
