There's not a whole lot we can tell you
about Gulfstream Park that you don't al-
ready know. The great racing, the sunshine,
that gigantic, overwhelming statue of Peg-
asus, the shops that
surround the racetrack.
Even if the real reason
you're in the area is
to take in the March 1
Gulfstream Sale, don't
leave town without ex-
periencing a day of rac-
ing.
With limited outdoor
seating, Gulfstream
does not have a tradi-
tional grandstand, so
you'll probably wind
up watching the races
from one of the track's
restaurants, maybe
Christine Lee's or Ten
Palms. My preference is
the Fountain Club. It's less stuffy than the
main two restaurants, and the fare is more
bar-menu type food, but it has what Chris-
tine Lee's and Ten Palmas don't–sunshine.
By the paddock, it's the one place at Gulfst-
ream where you can sit outdoors, truly en-
joy the weather, have a decent meal and a
drink and debate with your friends whether
that Pletcher first-time-starter going off at
6-5 is a good bet or not.
