I'm roughly a 10-minute drive away from Hollywood Park and go their often during their LIVE meet (I go to DM/SA/LA a combined 2-3 times a year for LIVE racing). A lot of people diss Hollywood (for reasons I'll never understand), but nothing beats the experience of a day of racing at the track of the Lakes, Flowers, Grace the Goose Girl, Naomi the Bartender and Fat Tony.

When the wrecking ball eventually levels my local track. I won't be attending LIVE racing at ANY venue - it will be 100% ADW at that point.

Pat is Naomi the bartender at the Jack Daniels bar ? I remember her if it is.

She's taken residence at the Whittingham Pub (she'd fill in for our beloved Deborah at the JD Bar sometimes as you know).

I'm an old time friend of Nola who Mike Pegram named Preachingatthebar and Holy Nola after her.

Totally agree with your assessment of HP Pat. Where will guys like us go after the wrecking balls hits???

Did anyone used to know George the bartender? I heard from a woman bartender at Whittingham's, maybe Naomi, that he retired last year or the year before.
