Not like it ruined my life. If it stays open I probably don't do as much Stewarding as I have.

And obviously Oaklawn is a pretty darn good place to land.

I suppose it's tough because how often does any of us truly get to fulfill our life's desire?

From 16 years old all I ever wanted was to be the announcer at Hollywood Park.

I certainly appreciate and know how blessed I was to have 13 years.

Officer, Cesario, Ghostzapper, Lava Man, Azeri, Queenie. What a run.

Still I keep thinking, even though I knew it was coming and I understood why.

How in the **** could HOLYYWOOD freakin PARK go out of business?

Hollywood Park. My all-time favorite Horse, Precisionist...vs Greinton. What a Jockey colony then. Those were GREAT days...just following it from afar in Kentucky. I cannot imagine how great is would have been to actually be there.
