I walked into Portland Meadows one day I guess about 15 years ago and the then owner who was walking out, recognized me and said, "I guess you gamblers all have to get your fix."
The guy was a lawyer (Darrel Lee) royally hated by everybody, (he ostensibly bought the track to try and sell off all its assets) and he just had to make a crack. Actually, I wasn't even there to bet. I just stopped by to see if the place was the same old depressing dump it always was.
It was.
