Love that OUP.
My wife's Grandpa (Pop Pop) was a horse guy. Spent nearly every day at the track. New the Jockeys at Gulfstream by name. Derby day was a Holy day to him. Glad I got to go to a couple of live race days with him. Great memories

My family are horse people, I've bred and raced lots of horses. We take out grand kids every year to the grand national , it's a huge jumps race here. We park up by Cutts brush, it's one of the jumps, grand kids haven't missed 1 since they were 2. About 3 years ago a jockey fell at the fence we were at. We were like 20 foot from the jump. The jockey got up and came over to me to use my phone. Funny as heck. Grand kids always talk about it.lol.

10-4, Soon, my Gramps also like to stop at Ruidosa Downs on the way to a summer vacation in the Rockies. Mostly they ran 1/4 milers but they'd run some longer races at the end - - - those give you a chance to get your BP up as well as your hinny off of the bleachers at the Finish Line.
