this guy on another board hit it right on the head
Sylvia, (the former owner), Augie and Joe, (her permanent barkeeps), are turning over in their graves. Just toast a draft Old Style to days of yore. Back when the gate crew was well imbibed by 9:00 AM. Back when Joe Bolero and J. Bert Sonnier would be into their third vodka martini before saddling winners hours later only five furlongs away. A place where an infamous local bookie/gambler chased a wide eyed Chickenman out of the bar wielding a hand gun. A place where one lucky gambler who had hit the ninth race trifecta for some $500.00, walked out of the bar without any money, and still having an outstanding tab. Chickenman is still around for those worried
