I can totally relate with this guy. Went from 65 head to 1 myself. Started attending the Hambletonian as a kid, and had success with starters in the same race for many years, as recently as this decade (however last was off the board...) Drove a Benz while dad was driven around in a Silver Cloud RR. He has passed on and I take care of 1 horse myself to help pass the days now, and drive home in an aged Town Car. Its tough to watch the sport you love pass you by, but it is a part of life we all will experience at some point......
My best goes out to this man.
