Or a Monday afternoon. Or a Friday night, which used to be one of the things I looked forward to most every week when I lived out there.

Still like to keep tabs on the circuit, and was watching a race yesterday and thinking to myself "whoa, whoever it is riding the #2 (Mamoonya) looks like a man among boys out there riding," and it was Gutierrez, who used to dominate everything when I was out there.

Great little track -- and it always used to be fun to get to say hi to Twyla Beckner and Shawna Barber when they were riding. Always really nice, warm, and kind people riding there who had time to say hi to a fan.

Juan's a great guy, he rides sparingly here and does most of his work at Emerald each year, but he's always around 20% here.

Twyla now runs a Hummus company here in town and i believe Shawna married the old GM here Chris Dragone and moved back to NY with him, i think he has some kind of breeding operation

You're right. Good memories involving horse racing and good people are not allowed. I haven't been active here for awhile, so I forgot.

I must have accidentally hit post before I was done and left out the second half, where I can assure you I originally typed:

but despite the good times I had there, racing is crooked, trainers are cheaters, I witnessed 11 breakdowns there each day, takeout was too high, the betting machines sucked, the beer was watered down, and it f*cking rained ALL THE TIME which I am sure was somehow the horses' fault in Portland.
