Default Funniest Story

It's 10:27 AM

Doors open at 10:30 AM and some 85 yr old guy is screaming at the ticket girl saying "Ill bleeping choke you,unless you opened the door" making choking gestures with his hands. Then he tells his buddy who is 75-80 to hold his cane, so he can choke her.

Funny as hell better to see in person. But best part was he was bitching because he wanted to cap the big Allowance race goin off at 11AM

He could not believe they would not give him more time LOL

There was an old man at the OTB I used to go to in Pennsylvania that would always walk around and ask who he should put $100 to place on. We were usually nice and not screw him over with a bad bet, but we definately could have....

I used to see it every morning at the local OTB i used to visit. 10Am every morning even worse on weekends. 70+ year old retired union guys mostly all old time Italian's was funny to watch. But they sure can tell some good old horse racing stories.

Frankly i makes me wonder what is going to happen to this sport in 10 years when so many of them are no longer with us.

I may try and make it for opening weekend this year. Shoot me a PM and let me know if and when you plan on heading up there. No VA Derby this year for me...its just a little too close to the opening of Toga.
