Big meet ahead at Gulfstream. With the slots the place should be hopping.

Yonkers raceway had a great night last night in New York with their slots and live racing. Good for them.

what is interesting is that both Collumus and Stauffer are real good friends, a real comedy situation if you ask me, might as well open Hialeah and run their and let Frank have his casino

Not a bad idea. Damm I miss Hialeah, what a beautiful racing facility.

I was sorry to see Vic Stauffer go, but I am a big fan of Larry Collmus. Hialeah was so fine; I still remember Slew establishing the seven-furlong record(which never came down).

That's great news..

For the first time in years, I won't be abusing the mute button during the Gulfstream races...

Default Where From
Where Did The New Guy At Gulf Call Races Before?
Also Loved Visiting And Betting At Hialeah, Was There The Day Slew Set The Track Record. Wish There Was An Owner Who Put Some $ Into The Thing. Sitting On Those Broken Chairs For 20 Years Was A Bit Much

Wow! You really saw history; I only saw it later on film. It is amazing how that record stood the test of time, but so did the great horse. Larry Collmus is the official Monmouth Park caller.

I love Vic. I think he is a great announcer.

I'm not a Collmus fan at all. I find Collmus to be dull and boring.

Can't beat the feeling of reading a new "Breezin' With Gino." Plus the hair, the glasses and the silk. Quite a character I met once and have seen many, many times (hard to miss). He's been at it a long time.

lol. I'm a Gino fan. I freely admit it. "Your Eyes Into The Sporting World of The Affluent." Gene's joke of the month ... "that's funny." ... "let's take a picture!" ... what's not to like?

Gino? I find it hard to believe anyone listens to Gino.
