Guys in a t shirt, beer in both hands. Nick realizes the guy thinks hes D Wayne Lukas. So Nick says, yeah, hes gonna win. Big smile on his face. The guy went running away screaming to his buddies "Wayne Lukas just told me hes gonna win the Travers!!!!!!!!!!!" at the top of his lungs. I started laughing so hard that I dropped to my knees on the ground. Funniest thing I ever saw and Nick just looked at me with a big grin on his face. Ask him, he will remember this.

Now THAT is hilarious... the guy was so drunk he didn't know he was talking to Zito? Was his name Curt?

*Kidding...*

Cajun I think the horse was Grand Slam but I know it was the year that Coronado's Quest won it in a thrilling 3 way photo with raffies majesty and Victory Gallop.
Guy had on like a dirty t shirt, hammered and it was only about 2 o clock. Slurring his speech and asked Nick if the horse was gonna win. You woulda cried.
