Golf,

Thx.. Technically, EVERY show is devoted to 'great racetrack characters'... Everybody involved in the track is Runyon-esque... Sciacca is a delight. Warm, endlessly generous and funny.. like a giant, over-sized kid. Anyone who is around the Barbecue at Toga gets a 'taste o' Sciacca'.. He and Shrek and Donkey hold court daily with constant camoes: Simon; Parisella; Zito; Frankel; Allday; Pat Kelly; Jorge Velasquez; Serling; track management; owners; press.. I may be the 'host', but Sciacca is the maitre'd and floor show.

And those strange-o's you hunf out with at the Swamp in the 80's/90's? They're still there...!
