As I young man I grew up very familiar with this phrase. It was the first words used by famous Woodbine race caller Daryl Wells, as a race began. I was born I believe with a hoof print on my heart. The love of all animals and the horse. I learned to love and respect these majestic and very proud animals very much. I was born into a horse racing family. My father Sheldon Wolfe had a 30 year career training Thoroughbred race horses, based at Woodbine in Toronto. I had the pleasure of working 13 years for my Dad. I was assistant trainer for 10 of those 13 years. I learned a lot. There was a lot of hard work. Lots of thrills, and some heartbreak. But the bottom line is that I had the chance to do something I enjoyed doing for 13 years out of my working life. And if you enjoy your work, it isn't work at all. During the course of this blog. I will share with the readers, the highlights of my time at the track. Also some sad memories that I did experience there. Also I will give praise and remembrance to my favorite horses I had the pleasure of working with. Also as a loyal horse racing fan. I will remember my all time favorite horses that I had the chance to watch race. The name of this blog "Keep Turning Left". Is racetrack jargon. When you walk the horses at the racetrack. You always walk them in a counter clockwise direction. That's why you always turning left. The meaning of this phrase is; nomatter what, you always keep going and never quit!
