Believe me, I wouldn't be there if I weren't being paid! Plus, being behind the betting windows, instead of being part of the huge crowd, I get to watch the huge crowd, which can be quite entertaining at times. I've been working the windows as an "Extra Local" employee at every Oaks/Derby and BC at Churchill since 1997, plus traveled to Santa Anita two years ago, and Monmouth the year before that. It's a lot of fun.
