What a beautiful facility Arlington is! I am convinced that it ia as nice as any track in the world. Had the opportunity with my host to visit the barns on the backside in the mornings, go in to the paddock, and watch the races from an owners box and/or the luxury suites. Also had the pleasure of meeting the track owner Mr D, Jerry Bailey, Early Fires, Bonnie the bugler, and several trainers. Actually rode up the elevator in my hotel with Dick Mandella the morning of the big race. He said his horse was feeling well. Had Tin Man singled! $$$ Between the Million win and the early pick four...all my expenses were paid. Great time. Never forget it. Would recommend a visit to this track to anyone. Good people. I have now been to Gulfstream, Tampa, Saratoga, Calder, Arlington, Suffolk, Monmouth, Fairplex and Churchill. Keeneland and DelMar are still on the "wish" list.
