Loved the improvisational 'Bugle' sound effect, when the audio missed the call to post!

I used to love the old Turfway. Before it went poly or whatever the hell it is now. Especially when it went muddy or sloppy

I remember them running late cards and I would stay at my office after everybody went home. It was quiet as ever and I could concentrate on nothing else.

If I saw rain headed toward the track I would hit the front runners hard. Loved it. Toward the end everybody was in on the bias after rain though. It was good while it lasted.

I made my biggest score ever at Turfway on the poly, very early on. CJ had just made his fig adjustment for poly races, and I caught a $500 exacta and the horse paid like $75 $50.

Back when Turfway had polytrack and not tapeta, you could just bet the 11 and 12 holes in a Sprint and do pretty well. Seems to play more fair now with tapeta
