I was fortunate to meet him many moons ago at Hollywood Park. Shook hands and then we whipped out the Form and he said "You like anybody here ?" I met him many times after that and it was just like meeting any nice guy at the track. I met Dick Van Patten, Mel Brooks and a bunch of others. We always talked racing.
I liked all that bunch. And I miss Hollywood Park.
RIP Tim. although we used to call him Tom, his real first name.
He was a super guy and big fan and supporter of racing, many donations to great racing causes.
