This is a story about a man who has survived various situations— good, bad, and unique. It is about the family that brought about the circumstances that allowed him to be able to attend one of the most iconic sporting events in the world—the Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Kentucky, held now every year since 1875. He has attended the Kentucky Derby for eighty-two consecutive years and counting starting in 1940.
The condition for this race is for three-year-old colts, geldings, and fillies that were nominated and qualified. The qualifications have changed over the years, but was meant only for the top-notch horses (generic) in the USA and later globally.
He is the only person on the planet to have achieved this record. Not only the number of years, but continuously, and also to be present in the paddock to view every horse that has run in that race for eighty-two years.
