![]() Hollywood Park comes to an end today with a $122k PK6 Carryover that includes a mandatory payout. The one memory that I remember from Hollywood Park involved baseball legend Pete Rose. While working at the Palm Beach Kennel Club in the late 1990's I witnessed Pete Rose approach the mutual windows at the Paddock section (mostly geared towards high end horseplayers and horse owners that reside in the area) and place $2000.00 across the board wager on #2 at Hollywood. The problem began when Rose stated "Two thousand across the board on #2 at Hollywood". The young female mutual teller was used to working in the main section of the kennel club and dealt mostly with dog players. She mistakenly punch the bet for Hollywood Dog Track which had their first race going off simultaneously with a later race at Hollywood Park. The 2 did not hit the board at either track and Rose was furious when he notice the mistake. He demanded his $6k back and would not take no as an option. Eventually, the track gave in and gave him a refund. The young mutual teller was forced to pay back for half the bet ($3K). Rose left with a departing comment, "Maybe she'll learn a lesson and realize who I am". At the time, Rose had a radio show in nearby Boca Raton and the kennel club did not want the negative publicity.
