IF YOU LOVE THOROUGHBRED HORSE RACING...
UpInClass Racing Forum (USA) @ http://www.upinclass.com/

My name is Dell Yount.
I am an actor who just happens to love thoroughbred horses,
the passion of horseplayers & the pageantry of the race track.
My Actor's Reel can be viewed @ www.youtube.com/DellYount.

5 years ago... on July 9th, 2004, I started an online forum.
I used some money from my movie "Phone Booth" to create a place
where Folks from around the country can share ideas, excitement,
and in depth conversation about the greatest sport on the planet!

UpInClass Racing Forum (USA) is a group of talented players,
handicappers, and horse racing fans from all around the country.
The camaraderie, the excellent conversation, and the challenging
online handicapping contests make this group something special!
