I like taking photos, trying new beers, and playing video games.

I can’t let it go. Here is a quote from “Left at the Gate:”
But what I think I’ll remember most about the race is the roar of the crowd of 31,717 as the filly strained to hold off her pursuer. We were standing behind the clubhouse seats around the eighth pole, managing to catch a glimpse of the action as they went by. From that point, attention turned to the TV screens, and the crescendo grew from there. Women and men, old and young alike all around us were shouting, screaming, absolutely pleading, begging, imploring her to make it home. It was as loud and urgent a cry as I’ve ever heard at a racetrack. I’m sure it got the attention of any spirits, be they human or equine, who make their home in the rafters of the historic track these days
I’ve been watching this race every day since it happened. It’s so good, I still get goosebumps as they come around the turn.
