I'm still working on it.

I too have a winning ticket from The Last Dance as well as a cup of dirt from the track, hundreds of photos and great memories. I went to the track early Sunday morning and watched the horses work and then stayed at the track until the day ended. Sunrise to sundown, and it seemed to fly by, except for the last race which seemed to go in slow motion...

I decided that I will probably not attend the auction next weekend. I had a hard enough time walking away from the track Sunday night, to go back and see it reduced to a "garage sale" would be more depressing than I can imagine. I did purchase one of the limited edition framed prints from Tom Chapman of the track memorial poster so that's my final souvenir of Bay Meadows.

But I like the idea of the framed memorial to the last race... I need to find a way to include in it a voice replay of Michael's call...



"Dancing..." Classic, absolutely classic...
