Description:
Every horse racing fan remembers his/her first on-track expedition. My first was watching Standardbreds as a kid at the old Brandywine Raceway in Wilmington, Del., and my first bet was $2 to show on a favorite named Alien.
He won and paid $2.20. And, I actually bet him because the ink on the past performances made the ‘i’ look like an ‘l’ and my best friend at the time was named Allan … but that’s not really the point here.
