Growing up two blocks from Pimlico, what else are you going to do in the afternoon during the high school years. Get in for free for the 8th and 9th races. My Dad could always tell where I had been because I smelled like a cigar!

Yes Blue is my uncles friend and man that was a long time ago and I see Blue just about every preakness, Funny story this year we are all standing in the box at Preakness and I tell my uncle and Blue that Rages to Riches would win the Belmont and Blues comeback to me was " Ain't no fillie going to win the damn Belmont" When she did I had to remind my uncle to tell Blue that line.
