THE ‘SEASON’ BEGINS Larry Blustein
As most of you know if you have read my columns throughout the years, I support anything local, and when it comes to thoroughbred racing at Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino, that is certainly my weakness. Like a child eagerly awaiting the first day of school, last Saturday, Dec. 1, was a date that I had circled for months, especially when it comes to
clearing my crazy schedule. There is something about opening day at Gulfstream Park that gets me excited. Like that first pitch of the new baseball season, the sounds of the horses racing around the track and hearing the fans cheer, is what this has always been about for me. I am not one of those year-round gamblers who will bet on anything. I am more of a racing fan. Someone who will be
brought in by large crowds and people having fun. That is where I stand, along the railing, with cold drink in hand and the warm late fall sun shining down on my white legs. Gulfstream, like Mardi Gras Racing and Casino in Hallandale Beach is a real getaway. A large facility where money is being made and fun is had by all. It is really a place where it costs –––––––––––––––––––– BLUSTEIN, Page 11A
Last Saturday opened yet another racing season at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach. This year, many area businesses are banking on the success of the fabled facility.
