A few years ago when Stronach was trying to do away with the downhill turf course at Santa Anita, he also wanted to put in a Sports Club with a stage and a large screen behind it to show the races.
The purpose of the stage was to have scantily-clad, well-endowed women wearing the number of one of the horses in a race line up in front of the screen in the order of the horses during the running of the race. If I had not been at Gulfstream for the initial Sunshine Millions to see the cheerleaders blocking the view of the horses in the walking ring, I would have thought this idea was a big joke.
However, now I know why the seats in GP's Sports Theater are more expensive the closer you are to the stage!
