We should see if Steve can get the track super on the show to ask him to explain the problem. I bet he wouldn't come on the show.

TF,

No one will come on. Not even to promote their weekends. They're a very curious bunch.

I'm wondering if Magna has any businessmen or do they simply have "deciders."

If you saw any of the Super Bowl Sunday night; GP being off the turf today is a no brainer one would think. BBB

They got an inch of rain in Hallandale (supposedly) and it has rained the past two days as well, although not very much.

Newer turf tracks drain quite well. I have even seen instances at Colonial where they have off the dirt.....that's right turf only days. That place is an amazing feat of engineering, and has only been around for about a decade.

Cajun is right. They got about an inch of rain sunday night and sprinkles yesterday. If that turf course can't drain an inch of rain in 3 days then they got jobbed royally.

Well, if you destroyed the paddock area of a famous track, re-built a track that can't drain water in 3 days, and generally created a venue which only caters to a very small slice of the aging horseplayer population, would you want to come on a show and be asked about it. Magna killed GP!

It pretty much did... it's a glorified casino now.

In Regard To Gulfstream And Horse Bettors. My Feeling Is They Dont Seem To Give A Crap About The Horseplayer In Everything They Do. As Long As You Drop A Nickel In Those Slot Machines. Heres A Short ( I Hope ) Story To Illustrate. I Bet Night Simulcast Once A Week. So I Tried Going There To Bet. I Went To Their Clubhouse Restaurant A Nice Enough Place. However, No One There Knew That The Place Even Offered Horse Race Betting Or Where You Could Wager. The Maitre'd Even Told Me There Is No Wagering Here. Upon Further Searching I Found About 3 Self Serve Machines. 2 Were Blocked By Assorted Tables And Chairs And Couldnt Be Used. There Was One But No Means Of Buying Any Vouchers. Also There Were Many Nice Overhead Tvs But No Means Of Changing Any Of The Channels And Many Of The Tracks Could Not Even Be Shown. By The Way This Story Is Very Typical Of Many Other Experiences There. All With The Central Theme Of Who Gives A Crap If The Horse Bettor Is Happy

In order to bet simulcasting at gulfstream after the live card is over is to go to the first floor clubhouse. THAT IS THE SIMULCAST AREA ! The restaurant closes after the live racing for a couple of hours and the machines close. The restaurant opens again at night for the slots people. The restaurant has a different crew at night. They should have been able to tell you that you have to go downstairs though to wager, although you could call in your bets for account wagering and have a nice meal which is alot less expensive at night than the afternoon buffet.

And he did sweep...

What an incredible day you had, TF. Congrats!!
