I haven't been around horses that much, but I have been bitten, kicked, head butted and slammed between the horse and a barn wall. For that reason I could imagine an assistant starter takes a lot of lumps over the course of their job. Not the type of work for someone with a low pain tolerance.

Looks like a really nice facility, thanks for the picks. Unfortunately I stopped betting there ages ago as both Florida tracks kick my ass.

I really like Gulfstream. It's obviously nothing like the old days, where it had a big grandstand and could host (with some temporary build-outs) the Breeders' Cup or a big Florida Derby crowd, but it's a fun place to attend the races and shows how when racetrack owners invest in the plant, they can really improve the fan experience.

That's because the horses read some of your posts here on paceadvantage. LOL, J/K dirt.

As always good "Suff"! Nice to see you are having fun down there
Gulfstream is one of the tracks on my bucket list to go then minds well hit Tampa Bay Downs while I am at it too if I make it down there in a few years (or months lol)
Would be a great afternoon to meet with you Suff one day
