My wife is absolutely fine with me going to the track.

It's my work that I am hiding from. There's nothing worse than taking a work call between races thinking your safe and then up pops the "may I have your attention, we have a late scratch in the upcoming 5th race..." announcement. The call usually gets "mysteriously" dropped at that time.

LOL. I once went to a new track and got on a conference call. Little did I know they had speakers in the restroom. Loud ones. Live and learn.

oh man I've got burned on that a few times. answered the call quickly because everything seemed quiet, you know, to demonstrate that I was right on the job, next thing you know about one minute into the phone call you get a very loud "THEY'RE AT THE POST". Then I'm quickly dodging people to get outside.

or other times I was supposedly "working from home", and I get a work call. Its in between races so there is no sound and I start talking forgetting that I have the sound up very loud on the computer speakers. suddenly you can hear Trevor Denman "the horses, have now, reached the starting gate"
damn!

What's that you say? Pathetically crying for attention is your job? Hope it pays well.

I think he was saying his wife pays him to go, not his work.

Thought that might have been what he meant. Either way, it's a good gig.
