Gulfstream Pic

These are groom quarters. Quite attractive from the outside, but mostly 4 bunk bed efficiency's inside. People on top of people.



Right across the street is a building that is very relevant to the Clenbuterol and form reversal thread.



I’ve been in here once, but I wouldn’t go back in due to the enormous stench of wrong.

OK, I'll bite...what is it that you've circled? Is that where they dispose of the carcasses?

No. More like Soda & Juice.

You have to read me as if you're watching a Boston Mob movie.

When I said Stench of Wrong,.

I could of also said that I got the hibbity jibities in there.

That was objective. People understand its big. Even people who've seen it from the track. But to see it has an enormous serpent under its feet is a wtf moment.

I was already at the track and left. I'm driving to Tampa today.

Horses are pouring in here. On mon-tues , they built two large temporary barns in the parking lot. Horse Trailers are pulling in one after another.

Racing at Gulfstream is cranking up.

Please don't knock Gulfstream with their great racing as long as New York keeps running those 4,5 and 6 horse fields. Your better then that.

What does the field size in NY have to do with anything?

Gulfstream racing peaks at Ftn of Youth time nowadays. That’s why the Fla Derby was best served as a mid-March prep. The racing over the next few weeks will be even cheaper than normal, the MSW fields smaller than normal and many of the big stables will be waiting for Keeneland.

During my visit last week I found the green carpeted structure Suff photo’d to be pretty funny and out of place. The bar/outdoor simulcast area underneath it is nice and will be useful each winter. You couldn’t pay people to sit out there in the summer.

On the ground at Tampa Bay downs. Surface is sandy & close to some greyhound tracks I’ve touched. 11 am I saw them working the track with a blade. On the crown I saw 18 inch wide by 18 inch high pile of dirt all the way around the track, and this blade did 3 full turns pushing it out. Still , in the stretch there is still a small crown.


I just heard they rated it fast. Its wet. I checked it twice. Its wet. By race time maybe fast but its damp now.

Did it rain overnight? I thought the dirt always had at least some moisture in it.

I might have caught it watered. No rain last night. It felt all-sand to me.
