Richie, after my 7 hours at the "New Gulfstream", I'm absolutely convinced Frank Stronach needs to stick to Auto Parts. Outiside of his field, he's got a track record now. His past performances are clear. He runs frequently and shows early speed, but he doesnt finish well. I'd hate to see him acquire Chrysler or any other "American instituition".

He was involved with the design of "The Horse Wizard" at Laurel.

He's got grandstand seating at Hallandale that is isolated from mutual tellers. So Isolated that as an afterthought he hired walk around tellers that take your bet in the same manner you order a hotdog from Portillos. The problem is that everyone and their sister gets to see you hand your money to him out in the open. Its very unseemly.

If you decide to bet at the 50 dollar windows in the Ten Palms restaurant you have to fight the doors that somehow swing out into you. Doors that should have been sliding doors, but somehow aren't. Then you have to fight the aisle blockers and diners milling about in the restaurant itself before fighting the same obstacles back to your seat.

In all my life, I've never seen a poorer designed public facility and I know why its a poor design. Its because Stronach had too much imput and glad handed design jobs to cronies and devotees. What an unmitigated disaster.

God Save whats left of horse racing from him.

God, please take him away now. He's led a full life.
