"Real Dirt Racing" in California
 

The Pleasanton Fair meet opened today.


Racing on real dirt has a prominent place on the daily program.

My personal wagering must be better on synthetics, I guess. I had an uncharacteristically high five wagers going today.

I hit on one-half of one.


The sun was warm and the beer was cold though.

Still a good day, $$ aside.

What about Los Al?

Where the trash meets the smoke (cigarette) at ol Los Al.

I don't live too far from there (I live in Turlock).

The problem with Pleasanton...nearly all of those horses are going to have mostly synthetic form.

I had my first visit to Los Al this spring to get my wager in on The Kentucky Derby while on a family weekend trip to Disneyland.

Somebody should have told me that track was an easy drive from Disneyland years ago...

Say hi to the bros. Old School, Dime Bag, and D.O. from the Chicago guys. :)
