These are just AWESOME!!!

I listened to every single one and it brought back memories of
hanging out at Santa Anita's Clocker's Corner as a little kid, before
going to school, which was across the street from the 6f chute.
During racing season, just before the end of lunch recess, I'd hear
the start of the first race. I still know it by heart and those
clips echoed those memories and told me my memories are still sharp.

Thanks very, very much, Pat.
