Guys:

All of the previously mentioned points are valid. I've been attending the races @ Gulfstream since 1989 as both a fan and owner (had access for years to a owners box on the finish line, right behind Paul Houning). Unfortunately, those days are LONG GONE!

The 'new and improved' Gulfstream was built for one thing and one thing only...SLOT $ (and maybe, in someone's misguided fantasy, 'entertainment $'s)

Having less than 900 clubhouse seats is evidence of that. There is practically no chance of getting these seats (without either being a trainer or owner of a horse running that day), particularly on a weekend. Even running a horse on the FOY or Fla. Derby days will not guarantee getting one of these seats.

Either we (either as fans or horsemen) adapt, at least to this specific venue, or we are forced to stay home with HRTV/TVG and our telephone accounts.

Personally, as I live in NY, I hope that the 'knowledgable' folks (and I use the term loosely) involved with the potential sale of the NYRA franchise realize and learn from the significant errors Magna made with the 'new' Gulfstream
