Gulfstream Pictures
I have random photos taken the last week. Regarding Saratoga, my flights and hotel booked, enthused about it, I've hit the nyra box office up 4 times already.
I'm staying at the Brentwood , it's on gridley street, almost like staying on track. It's Saratoga on high octane.
Today's a big race day , so photos for PA ambience
These are all yesterday. I have a bunch from Florida day I'll add later.
I met up with Lamboguy. We had a great time, I enjoyed myself, and felt like I made a friend. He was with a dozen other friends from Boston. All top notch city folks. I'm Really glad I tagged along. I met some cool people.

Suff thanks for all the pictures ! I usually go to Gulfstream every winter and stay in Sunny Isles but covid ruined it. Anyway I still might make it this year if everything works out. The motel you booked looks pretty decent and clean. Perfect location and you can catch a trolley from there to hit up downtown.

12 rooms, horses start coming by 4, 5 am. It used to be worn down, I've stayed there off/on. It was sold and fixed up. The Horseshoe bar is next door, live music , outdoors, mad+party place , so the brentwood is not good if you plan on sleeping a lot.

Thanks , I'm secretly Barbara Suffingston.
Saratoga related just now watching Bloomberg Asia. CEO Hoshino being interviewed and said this;
Chief Executive Officer Yoshiharu Hoshino, whose family founded the business. The closely-held company has scouted locations and held discussions with real-estate developers and investors, he said. One ideal spot, in his view, could be Saratoga Springs, about a three-hour drive from New York City and Boston.

You can't miss here. From Jacksonville to Miami, or from the panhandle to Naples, anyone can cut out an affordable life that works for them.
I'm in Dade/Broward, crime rate 3x national average, nonstop party, epic amounts of money, celebrity mecca, fishing, windsurf, tennis, boating , on and on down here. I love it.
I lost my Paco hat, so I bought another. I prefer the black embroidery, but they only had white. I want to cleanup something I said incorrectly. Jockeys don't get $10 for autographing memorabilia. The extra $10 you pay for autographing goes to the disabled jockey fund.
And yes, this is how Paco signs his name.

very nice pictures. Do you have a license of some type at the track? I ask because some pictures look like in 'restricted' areas (but I suppose with zoom you could be a long away from what I see).

I go enough that I'm face friendly with security. I always wear my mask, act responsible, respectful, and I smell like I belong there.
Floral Park HS abutts Belmont picnic area. Floral Park people act like it's their backyard. They nicknamed it Lawless Land. I heard a lot stories that remind me of my suffolk days when it was ours.

I've always liked NY Racing. Ever since they started simulcasting at suffolk and the guy on the TV said Exacta. Up until then, I had only known it as a Perfecta.
We were driving down there soon after to check it out. And it was widely played at Suffolk and seen as a proving ground. If you could win in NY you were considered a good player.
