Just got home at 8:30. Rather difficult day to enjoy in the truest sense certainly, but it seemed everyone tried. Was a waste of time for most with the card largely torn up by the Off Turfers and sloppy main track. Sorry I was unable to adjust for scratches today. Opener is always an operational challenge..
Saw many, many DTers already.. Saw as old a racetrack friend as I have in Jim Ortiz, whom I worked with at Dannon Yogurt (1986-1987). Good to get the meet underway, but we may have to wait until Friday or Saturday to get any serious horseplay in.
Hope everyone made the most of today, despite the unpleasant conditions, and enjoyed the show if they tuned in. Will catch up with everyone's opening day in the a.m.!
'night...
