LIFE in Phoenix!

My wife and I went out to Turf Paradise this AM and report that they are watering and harrowing the main, and watering the turf course.

Did n't look like any horses in the stalls as of yet however.

Couple times I went there Turf Paradise emptied my wallet, my methods did not get along with that track. I did decent at Phoenix Greyhound Park, but that place no longer exists. For some reason I won more often at the dogs, but never any money to write home about.

Hopefully they fix the timer before they open. They were hand timing all the races the last few months of what was supposed to be the last meet.

New timing system was installed on both tracks a couple of weeks ago.

It appears the AZHBPA has a different opinion.

It should be noted that the AZHBPA board voted last Friday (though it was reported as a close vote) to extend the right for TuP and its OTB Network to continue importing simulcasts through the end of the year.

If and when they do reopen will they have enough vets and will scumbag trainers like Diodoro, Evans, and Vitali be allowed back?
