I moved from the Bay Area to Spokane 6 months ago and I really miss Bay Meadows... I'm coming down to the Bay Area next month to see my tax guy and I plan on being at Bay Meadows every day I'm down there

DerbyCat,
When you get down this way, let me know if you like. I live literally less than 5 minutes from the Pleasanton track, and hence normally go to the OTB when the bug bites......instead of crossing the San Mateo Bridge.
But, I do love Bay Meadows.
I had been to tracks all over the country, but the first time I walked into the betting area and realized the paddock was INDOORS and just steps from the betting area....I was sold on Bay Meadows.
My last trip across the Bay to Bay Meadows was the day Harry Aleo came into the paddock like a rock star......along with Lost in the Fog. THAT was a nice day.
