A day at Longacres used to be the most fun I could ever have, win. lose or draw. The ambiance at the track is now gone. The people are different, the players on site are different, the whole experience is different, and not for the better.
As for the race at MTR. It was a 2 1/4 mile race that was decided at the 1/2 mile pole, and the winner was driving in the lane. I counted the whip 3 times with a 30 length lead, and the 2nd place horse was jogging 30 lengths ahead of the rest of the field. The 3 trailers actually competed to the 1/16th pole when those jocks finally conceded the order of finish was determined.
