A fun 2 days
Yesterday i had one of our office staff spend a day with me on the road.We were in Long Island City,Queens when we stopped into a deli to get a soda.Waiting on line i run into my contact(super nice guy)
at the Sopranos.He says hello and asks me if i have a couple of minutes.We take a stroll around the corner and there is the entire cast of the show (except Lorraine Bracco and Robert (waste of human life) Iler doing a photo shoot.It looked like Gandolfini actually lost some weight and Jaime Lynn was very pretty.I tried taking pictures with my camera phone but there was just too much glare and they didn't come out.Today i stopped into the OTB by my house to make a withdrawl (a much too much rare event) and there is Heliodoro Gustines who i've seen there before.For those of you who are not from NY and may not be aware of who he is,he was the regular rider of Forego before Shoemaker.I started talking to him and boy was it fun too talk about racing from years ago.Asked him about some jocks and he told me they passed away and also asked him the prettiest racetrack he ever was at.Without a pause he said Hialeah which i've always stated on this board was the prettiest.He told me about his victory on Lamb Chop in the Coaching Club.Could of talked to him for days.Just thought i would share it with all of you.
