Funniest Story
 

It's 10:27 AM

Doors open at 10:30 AM and some 85 yr old guy is screaming at the ticket girl saying "Ill bleeping choke you,unless you opened the door" making choking gestures with his hands. Then he tells his buddy who is 75-80 to hold his cane, so he can choke her.

Funny as hell better to see in person. But best part was he was bitching because he wanted to cap the big Allowance race goin off at 11AM:confused:

He could not believe they would not give him more time LOL

this was at what track?

Not to say that it couldn't happen anywhere, but I wanna know which tracks where the old people 'pose the biggest threat to my well-being lol.

i dunno, maybe derby day they had a N1x at 11 a.m. .. but doors opened at 8 a.m.

no the Jai Alai up here in Orlando i went to throw some bets down before kids game

got to watch out for those 'retired' folks!

You should have held the mans cane. If a guy came to get down let him through the turnstyle

I would have but his buddy already grabbed it. His old ass looks like he could have went some rounds about 60 yrs ago or even killed someone

Old small skinny and have that crazy ass look in his eyes.

They're the best customers at the local OTB's.....:D

fast forward a few years & that could be anyone on here...:)

There was an old man at the OTB I used to go to in Pennsylvania that would always walk around and ask who he should put $100 to place on. We were usually nice and not screw him over with a bad bet, but we definately could have....

I guess Country Kitchen Buffet was closed that morning. :D

I used to see it every morning at the local OTB i used to visit. 10Am every morning even worse on weekends. 70+ year old retired union guys mostly all old time Italian's was funny to watch. But they sure can tell some good old horse racing stories.

Frankly i makes me wonder what is going to happen to this sport in 10 years when so many of them are no longer with us.

that is quite possible...
No...that's true! :D

Brad...I am guilty as charged....in fact...I HOPE that is me:D

I'm with ya...see you at Colonial in 30-40 years...

I may try and make it for opening weekend this year. Shoot me a PM and let me know if and when you plan on heading up there. No VA Derby this year for me...its just a little too close to the opening of Toga.

If I ever head there, I'll give you a shout...
