Joel I actually wore that DM button shirt. Every time I wore it to dinner all the customers asked me for more chips and salsa. JHC

I got a really nice Del Mar sweatshirt on opening day at an otb in NJ 2 years ago.Great Promo,but everytime I wear it people ask me how I liked Del Mar.Since Ive only been To Santa Anita,I think im gonna have to go to Del Mar to validate my sweatshirt.

The stupidest racetrack promotion ever was when Del Mar had Cougar Day to honor the horse but also vote for the hottest middle age woman -- most of which were hangin' in there pretty good in the looks department -- and it seemed that some of the women just may be willing to hook up with some horseplayer for a lost weekend at the beach and .......

Nevermind. Maybe it wasn't that stupid.

You're celebrating with a sex-change operation?

My friend and ex jockey CC Perkinson won one of those Cougar Day contests.
