Triple Crown (of Thorns)

When she was a single young girl, my mother sometimes would work caring for race horses. This would add a bit to her family's income. When he was a single young man, my father sometimes would work riding and breaking in wild horses. This added some to his family's income.

As I continue in this tradition, I annually watch the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes on television, betting and losing huge amounts of my family's income.
