It all started back in 1971 when Paul and I went to my first Preakness.  We sat in the infield and at that time the crowds were not too bad.  Then as the years went on we started to sit in the grandstand and the number of people that came along with us increased.  We've had up to 10 people joining our celebration.  Dave and Sharon have attended almost every year since this all began back in 1971.   We were there to see the famous Secretariat win and then go on to win the triple crown. We've seen 3 triple crown winners in all.
