Robert Corbin is enjoying his second winter at Cal Expo while sending his share of performers to the winner’s circle.
“The weather is great and we had such a good time last year we decided to come back,” explained the 61-year-old Chicago native. While Robert got his first taste of the sport in his teens through his parents, it wasn’t until six years ago that he really got involved in the game.
“My mother passed away and we wanted to have something for my father to look forward to, so we ended up buying a broodmare and eventually purchased some racehorses as well.”
