I also managed to get over to see the New Gulfstream. I hadn't been there since they knocked the old one down.
My expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised. I had to keep in mind that it was a Wednesday so there was plenty of elbow room, but I liked what I saw.
The saddling area/walking ring is nice for the fans, but I would think it is an abomination for the horsemen and horses. A highstrung horse can not like that set-up.
Now, if I can only cash a ticket there, I'll be set.
