The winning Trainer in this race is one of my best friends at the track . He has been around for decades, never says a bad word about anyone or anything and cares about his horses. Good to see my friend John get another win. I know most of you don't know nor care, but for a small time guy like John who is in his 70's in bad health it is great to see. Not too mention he has always looked out for my best interest, ESPECIALLY in my bad times.

Props Buddy!

Congrats to Mr. Wilson!

I love the "old timers" that you meet at the track... one of my favorites at Bay Meadows is "Razo". He's the guy that monitors the crossing by the paddock between the Grandstand and Clubhouse. Razo used to be a quarterhorse jockey back in the 50's and he rode at all the small tracks throughout the west coast. Another great person at BM is "Stella", she pours beers at the concessions stand on the Grandstand side. Stella's husband was a jock and her sons are all involved in the industry. Stella is about *four foot something* and pours a perfect beer - no head and filled to the top. People at the track just don't tip Stella (or even Razo) the way they deserve.

Folks, if there's anyone at the track whose service you appreciate, tip them well... a lot of these folks are old time horse people who are surviving on social security and what little they make at the track. Take the time to talk with them because they stories they have to tell are absolutely priceless!

Anyone remember the Valet elovator guy at Oaklawn? As the thing is going up or down he'd describe what was on each floor. I remember the 2nd floor was the Home to the Arkansas Sports with the best cornbeefy sandwiches in the world and the 3rd floor something about womens lingrie. ha ha
