One of my first experiences with this sport was when my grandparents took me to Aqueduct in June and July of 1971. I was 12 years old at the time.
I can also vividly remember the racing show hosted by Frank Wright in the mid-to-late-'70s. That's when I saw the Forego/Foolish Pleasure/Lord Rebeau battles in such races as the Suburban Handicap and the Brooklyn Handicap.
And when I became old enough to actually go to the track, I loved such races as the Gallant Fox Handicap and the Display Handicap.
