- Gulfstream Park is great. A great atmosphere sitting outside yesterday (Weds) at a table along the front stretch. Some thoughts,

GREAT simulcast facility!
Good job not smothering the Horse Players with the slots, there is a seperation
The paddock and viewing area where they walk the horses is just great with plenty of seating and 3 big screen tvs, just great
What a view with the beach condos, etc in the backdrop!
Plenty of parking and easy access to US1 and 95!

If you have never been I just can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to spend the day yesterday there. I may not have cashed a single ticket but that is the farthest from my mind as I truly left the track with nothing but smiles. Now, it became very evident to me quickly that there are a lot of angry Northeastern retired guys who like to cuss and scream at the tellers, but oh well:p

I could go on and on but I don't want to bore those 2 or 3 people who read this. Great time and I'll be back in a couple weeks. Wish I could have spent the day today there but I had to get back home to Jacksonville.

Oh yeah, put on your list of things you should do before you die is to see the downtown skyline of Miami at night:$:
