But that is probably just my winning personality. Or a couple of winning tickets.
I was at that Masscap- warm day, big crowd, and the magic of Dutrow.

I can't understand why it sticks with some and doesn't with others.
I do an office pool for the Derby each year complete with a large poster of the 'contenders' with little bits of information and photos of each horse. In the end, the only thing people care about is who won the money and no one actually watches the race. So maybe you're right..winning tickets speak more than any high-rise hotel or clean restroom.
magic of Dutrow...lol Hopefully Suffolk can get together another card like that, it was a good day.
