Out in LA a couple months ago I was checking into the Crown Plaza by the airport. The guy next to me asks for the Holywood Park rate and I'm thinking he's got to be an owner. As we get on the elevator I ask him and he tells me he's with Gamblers Annomous and comes out here to help people that have lost everything. He tells me some of these people lose everything they have. Damn, I wish it was an owner!

I would love to see a special like that as most of us would, but we would most definetaly appreciate it more then the guy or gal who knows nothing about it. Maybe it would draw some people in if they showed the good sides of the sport. Just don't let them show the "dark side" like where I hang out You wanna turn people off the sport let the cameras roll at Beulah around 4pm on a Tuesday in January. Some of the creatures that hang around the track
