The Start

Coming out of the Gate can get a little hairy at times. You can see the 5 horse "Daymaker" cuts over and pinchs out the 4 horse "Foxy Like a Cat".

Kula Girl winner

Opening Day

As usual they screw up the little things , they removed two windows selling Programs , didn't have outdoor self serve Betting Machines ready, and parking was totally disorganized with one lot closed for the Vancouver Giants game later that evening. Other than that, it was good to be back. Once I finally found a porogram and got settled in things went pretty well with the Sun shining for most of Opening Day.

Things got off to a real fast start for Frank Fuentes as he was aboard the first three winners of the Year. This is the first winner of the Year "Kula Girl".

I only stayed for the first seven races and and Fuentes did win one more before I left for his Fourth Win. Fernando Perez had Three Wins

Good start to the season.
