Maryland Million 2015 Sheldon on Monster Sleeping
The first time I went to Laurel Park was for Maryland Million Day in 2015. Sheldon had a few mounts that day, and I took this photograph in Winners Circle with Sheldon aboard Monster Sleeping.

In November I started a column on DanonymousRacing.com called "From the Apron." The column is human interest stories from the Horse Racing industry. Sheldon's story was my December article and titled "Tough as Nails."
