Subject: RE: Happy! - Mar 29 (Man O' War)
yeah, I know all about having to explain things to the other half...:)

Growing up I always watched channel 5 for the Saturday live at the races, usually Aqueduct or Belmont Park during the season and then Hialeah for the winter. I got to watch Kelso's final 4 years of racing. Always loved that old guy.   And Bill Hartack was one of my favorite jockeys. It's weird to see jockeys now and remember when I saw their dads ride - some as apprentices, even. Where or where did the years go?

I've had Dish for a few years now and it's great. On the free public stations they have RFTV which has plenty of horse programs as well as bluegrass and other nice stuff. Being a geek, I love the university channels with their programming.

Someday I'll have to get over to Saratoga.
