Free t-shirts, and everything!

Free stuff just brings the idiots out to the track, all of Russell Baze's horse will be bet down to even money because these idiots "know" Baze is "money" The good part is that you get better odds on the horse that should win the race but getting to a teller or a SAM is difficult - too many people that are clueless on how to use either... days like this I just sit in my box and bet by phone

From everything I've heard from the people that work there, Bay Meadows will be torn down in early 2009 and turned in to an office/condo/shopping complex - they've been saying it for years but everyone believes it's really going to happen this time. The land is just too valuable... the median home price in this area is over $750,000 and I've heard the condos they're going to build on the land will start at $600,000 for a one bedroom - outrageous!

Needless to say, I'm going to enjoy my last season here at my favorite little track... I took Monday afternoon off and went to the track, there couldn't have been more than 50 people in the Clubhouse, the place was a ghost town... this Saturday it will be packed - it's like night and day...

If any DTers are at Bay Meadows this weekend, stop by the Clubhouse boxes, you can usually find me in box 103 by the finish line, I'll be wearing the DerbyTrail hat!

DerbyCat,

I have this Saturday and the El Camino Real on my wish list of entertainment for the weekend. If I make it across the Bay for real time viewing, I'll be sure to stop by.

I'll be the guy with a program and a racing form.



If I can't make it across the Bay, I'll definitely be dropping in my OTB to play a couple of the day's big races.
