It's a casino and it's not for me. If I go to South Florida I will go to the beach.

Hard to argue with your assessment, but I'll witness it on Fountain of Youth day. I was there on opening day in 2005 when they had that fiasco where they forgot to move the starting gate in the 1st race. I had the leader turning for home at 20-1. They should've never raced that meet in those tents. You talk about a cluster. I've waited two years and want to check it out.

I sincerely hope you have a great time and completely disagree with my assessment....and that goes for anyone that attends Gulfstream. My misery needs no company.
