Gulfstream memories

I also remember going to Dania Hai Alai. There was this one guy I got to know who didn't speak any english. I'd find him and he'd circle guys in my programs. I'd buy him some beers and I always went home a winner. He was a nice guy and my Spanish is not good, but I enjoyed it.

I love racing but could watch Hai Alia all night. If you've never seen it, you must.

Did they dispense the donuts from their boobs?

To make room for slots, the area to watch them play Jai Alai is now about 4 feet wide and 20 feet long. Back in the 80's-90's you couldn't even find a seat there it was so packed.

I remember that. Glad some of you do too. The topless donut place was R Donuts. It was kind of on the way to the FTL airport. It actually was a nice place, not like a sleazy strip club or anything. It just so happened that all the waitresses were topless. It was a nice joint, great coffee and donuts.

I feel old because I Googled it up and it closed in 1990.

I do remember those Hawaiian fire dances. They were the best. You used to get big flaming drinks and all kinds of good food and a tremendous show. Those were good times and good memories.

Yes, "Caves" probably lasted only two years.

I truly loved those years hanging at the track. They were the best of times.

Thanks for sharing and remembering.

You know as I get older I remember the great races I've been to. Actually they are the best experiences of my life. My dad passed a few years ago and he had seen Seabiscuit race. How great was that ?

I look back at some of the stuff I've seen and feel very fortunate. You'll hear people say horse racing is in trouble or whatever, don't believe it. We love to race horses and the horses love to race.
