L. to R. – Al E. Aldrich and wife Thelma (husband and wife) and next…   the older brother, Lee G. Aldrich – and of course me… I am taking the pictures… just so that we will have a memory of some of the good ole times… those  times, we enjoyed doing that which we generally enjoy doing, all together just taking a chance on a horse and just hoping for the best… that is… just with  some very  big hopes, that maybe someday and soon, everyone in the whole wide world… will be reading of an “Aldrich”  having a truly big “Winners’ Day” at the track!

The men, and I am only guessing, they will  more than likely, have a very good idea of the over all good health and  the previous winning ability  of each Horse, that is ready and fit  for the lineup for the this day’s run…  and that extra strength to WIN, this day, that is to  really “WIN”  with the best of all… day’s payoff!

As I am remembering… there is something coming to mind   and… 

“by George”… as I am giving more thought to these good old days’…

…  also do remember that “Thelma”   had a different way of making her selections of HORSES,  with the possibility of winning and winning for sure and usually…  using  that so called “long shot” … paying off with a better return … than  what the normal BETTER would figure to receive… and even sometimes making the “Headlines in the Newspapers!”

So in the PHOTO  above…looks like they are really checking out the horses that are running – as  they all want a “Winner!” 

AND I BET… that no one ever lets another “BETTER” have any idea, of their selection… as the idea of Winning Big … YOU and YOU alone take  the whole POT of CASH HOME… alone!

It seems to me,  that at a very early age….  I was taught to work for the money,  that you would work for the money  you would be in  need off, and that betting on something  to ” WIN,”  is very slim, taking that chance,  that  you might receive something … just never ever seems to be the correct way to make, an extra buck or two!

I only tag along  sometimes as the DRIVER to the  something and  or place and also the Parker of the car, as I am not in a big hurry to see what is going on and all of the miscellaneous  things, that some people have to do,  just to be prepared  for some kind of enjoyment, if  at all possible… just for their being there and also… to be on time!

Everyone has their LIKES, and that is for everything… that they do in LIFE and so much for their dislikes… but for “ME” there are certain places that have very good “FOOD”  to eat… and to be served  a very good meal in the “Club House”…  is something that I do believe,  that most people enjoy when attending  the “Race Tracks is South Florida.”

One other thing, that I enjoy while out on some kind of a pleasure trip –  I feel that it is terrific to be the one taking the PHOTOS …so as to have a memory of the occasion… so, I like to take pictures of everyone having FUN!
