Ellis Park, despite its faults and shortcomings, is one of racing's last remaining treasures. It's one of the country's most comfortable tracks. It's like walking in the neighborhood tavern where everyone knows your name. Like putting on a pair of old jeans or loafers.

This man really loved Ellis Park. It takes a special racing fan to love what that place has become and on top of that to overlook its flaws.
That quote makes me think he was the type of guy to order the steak dinner at The Exotic She Lounge and enjoy a few lap dances from the assorted beached whale...err women that work there and actually equate the experience to that of Scores.
R.I.P, Cliff. May you wear those rose-colored glasses throughout eternity.
