After all, it was our first racetrack. And like that old beer commercial used to say, \u2018You never forget your first&#8230;track!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well, it still reminds us of hanging out with our siblings &amp; parents, getting asked, \u2018Who do you like?\u2019, strolling about the clubhouse, checking stuff out, etc. Even though it was just about 50 yrs. ago the first time, we still remember some of the names of the jockeys, like Nick Shuk, Wm. Passmore, Vince Bracciale Jnr. etc. (And speaking of old-timey jockeys, we always root for the eternal East Coast boys like Joe Bravo &amp; Jos\u00e9 C. Ferrer Jnr., since they are perhaps the only two living riders who were around when our parents, now late &amp; lamented, were. So, yes, whatever last-century connections remain extant to racing nowadays, we always support those faces &amp; places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BestLine Racing Society Recap<\/strong>:
