Hello @irvinc, like your father, you are an excellent storyteller, and every day you embellish them more (ha ha ha). I learned about the world of horse racing, races, and betting through my paternal family. To be honest, I don't know if they gambled, but my grandfather had a sealing machine at the Caracas racetrack. It was his job and that of my uncles, and that's how they paid for their studies.

I think I'll tell this part of my story in a post. Best regards.

Hola @irvinc, al igual que tu padre, eres un excelente contador de historias y cada día las adornas más (ja,ja,ja,). Ese mundo de hipódromo, carreras y apuestas, lo conocí a través de mi familia paterna, la verdad es que no sé si apostaban, pero mi abuelo tenía una máquina selladora en el hipódromo de Caracas, era su trabajo y el de mis tíos, con ello se pagaron sus estudios.

Creo que contaré en un post esta parte de mi historia. Saludos.
