Whodunit?

Miss me? Blog block? Too busy? Yes to all.  Just two more weeks to go.  Wow, where did the summer go? Got a lotta cool stuff coming up. Super Diamond, free donuts on Saturday morning and a beach bag cooler give away on Saturday afternoon.  What a deal.  Of course Labor Day weekend should be big.  Eleven stakes including four Grade I’s. Sunday the 6th is the $1,000,000 Pacific Classic plus Ziggy Marley in concert after the races. I gotta get one of those Rastafarian hats.

Here’s a little inside scoop the press missed. A while back some of our Turf Club members’ wives came to me with a complaint. It seems that there were two “ladies of the evening” working the Turf Club bar and that that was totally unacceptable to the membership. Of course I agreed and said I would get right on it. I called our Director of Security and told him there were a couple of hookers hustling guys in the Turf Club and that he should toss them out (gently, of course). I also asked him to find out the name of the member whose tickets they were using. There are rare times when I enjoy embarrassing people and this was going to one of them. The next day our security guy came to my office and said he had ejected the prostitutes. Okay, so who was the guy giving them tickets? With a strange smile on his face he said, “Well, boss, they were using your tickets”. What! Impossible! I would never in a million years! Well, it seems that the ladies were going to the Turf Club Will Call window and convinced the attendant that I was going to arrange for them to get in but that I didn’t want my secretary to know about it. Fully convinced that – despite my self-serving press releases – I was undoubtedly the degenerate she always suspected, she let them in.
