I went today and went down to saddling area to see Audible. They did NOT take them out to the walking ring so this was as close as I got.
Rick Pitino had the table two down from us. I said hello + a Celtics Shout Out.
It looked like he was in action because I saw him flipping the TV from Tampa to NYRA all day. He was with a bunch of friends chasing the pick 6.

I said hello to Sol Kumin as well. What a Gentleman and friendly person he is. Class act.
We went up the ladder , outside in a finish line booth today. $500 a day for these things! $27,000 for annual rental.
