That's a nice story, glad to hear you and all your people enjoyed themselves. They do that at the Fairgrounds, and you see people having birthdays and anniversaries all the time. I think it's a nice idea and everyone always looks like they are having a good time.

I had a named race this past season at Bay Meadows, I name it "Proud Patrolman Fans" after my favorite ten year old $4,000 claiming horse (he's since been retired, living the good life as his trainers pony). In order to reserve the clubhouse patio, I had to guarantee and pay for 50 guests. I had about 40 friends pay their way and I covered the rest, then I opened up the patio with the really nice buffet spread and the keg of beer to the "regulars" at the track. I had trainers, jockey agents and degenerate gamblers that I was friends with
 all eating a free meal and having a blast. It was the greatest party I ever had.And the best part is, a few of my "civilian world" friends that came are now hooked on racing, I'm even talking about going in with a few of them to own another horse!
