\'91 Travers. As a 12 year old kid I made a $2 dollar box Corporate Report/Hansel with money I made from parking cars with my grandfather a block from the Wright street gate. Think I picked up $60 or so. I was hooked. I vividly remember my grandfather (who busted his tail for every penny he made) telling me that \"Son, You\'ll never beat the horses at there own game.\" It wasn\'t until the \'08 Derby I proved him wrong and cashed for a nice chunk of change. In my early 30\'s if I quit today I\'d most def be way ahead of the game... Love ya and miss ya Pop\'s, but I also remember you telling me \"Nobody likes a Quitter.\"
