But fear not! I have taken it upon myself to pen a song, a rather modest rendition if I may say so, in recognition of the Florida Derby:
- All Hail Thee, Oh Gulfstream Park
(sung to the tune of O Tannenbaum. Or any song by Nirvana)
Oh, Gulfstream Park! Oh, Gulfstream Park!
Home of the Florida Derby.
Oh, Gulfstream Park! Oh, Gulfstream Park!
Home of the Florida Derby.
There was Barbaro and then Big Brown,
Tho' Frank Stronach tore the grandstand down
Oh, Gulfstream Park! Oh, Gulfstream Park!
The next race will be at Churchill
Footnote: For tomorrow's race, this lyricist is selecting Dialed In and Soldat, while recklessly wheeling horses in double-digit odds underneath.

Awesome. I love a good theme song...especially one you can work Frank Stronach into!
It's truly a tragedy that the grandstand in the postcard is no more.
Watching on HRTV you'd think the new Gulfstream was a nice place to watch the races. In fact I got into a little argument once with a guy at the Horseshoe Inn. He was suggesting that the Breeder's Cup would return to Gulfstream some day. People don't understand what the new building is like unless they've been there.
If John Brunetti just had a little bit of vision...
Congrats on recklessly hitting the $339 exacta, yes?
Tremendous weekend, indeed, that also included an opening season sweep of the Red Sox (Sorry, Big Bro)
And as of this writing, I'm officially incorporating "reckless wagering strategies" on all future races!
