The Beauty of Greyhounds

No matter how you feel about racing you have to admire the beauty of a greyhound in top gear.  The perfection of a canine athlete, muscle and mind engaged in what comes naturally, chasing.



Hollywood Park Racetrack

Hollywood Park Racetrack soon to be close forever and a shopping mall and houses built in its place. Spotting ovals from the air is a favorite thing of mine to do.  On approach to LAX just after you break through the clouds this is the view out of the right side of an aircraft.  When it's gone, the feeling will never be the same again.  Hollywood Park was the first track I ever went to in America 21 years ago.
