The first race I was in. Dad was going to an ice race in Wallace. And Donnie was on? ly a baby. And the night before they left, he fell out of the crib, and he had a con? cussion. And Dad didn't want to leave. And he was supposed to pick up 2 or 3 other horses along the way. He was taking Insti? gator and Top Brass. Well, Top Brass was a little hard to hold. So he said, "We'll leave Top Brass homie. You go with them. And Dodie Olden will drive the truck--he's taking his horse up. And you can drive In? stigator yourself." So we went up with the horses. I took Instigator and raced him up there. I was 12 or 13. On the ice you just go down and turn be? hind the gate, and they let you go, and you only race a quarter of a mile straight- ,away.
