The fairs are the pits. I'll always chose the gate over the fairs. Gotta find a way to keep it open.

Agree, Pete, but when is the last time you saw a "crowd" at GGF?

Dollar days, Frank. Every effing sunday. Pretty good draw. 5-10k show up. People love cheap. Dollar parking admission programs beers mimosas sodas and hot dogs. You in theory could tie one on for 20 bucks and enjoy something cool while you do it.

What? I thought the Stronach group was all about doing what was best for the game...such a selfless bunch...find it hard to believe they would do anything that wasn't in the best interest of the game!  |

that would be a bummer for sure. looks a lot like posturing, strong arming and such. would guess GG would win out over the fairs, but who knows...

They don't want most of the pie, they want it all. (a little biased seeing how south Florida is GP only)......nice how "they don't know" if horseman can stay if the license isn'r approved. (scare the crap out of them...anvil over the head).....once you lose something it's gone. I'm sure there is some compromise that both parties can still exist. (Santa Anita ,Del Mar was great...but liked going to Fairplex when it was running also) PS Pete...miss back when I'd take the train from San Jose to Bay Meadows.......let you off right at the door....times a changing.

Pete, how can the track make it on 5-10K, once a week, for a buck a head? The value of the bay front property will likely dictate this, in any case.
I am a GGF fan, it's just been a ghost town any time I've gone in the last five years. P.S. I always liked Bay Meadows a tad better and look what that got me!

Bay Meadows was tons more enjoyable than the gate. Unanimous opinion on that one.
No tourneys this year as that roll is being spent so my teeth will be squared away for good. Pretty easy decision. This face is so pretty. Can't deprive the world of it with the distraction of a bad grill.
