00:00Usually on the TDN Writer's Room podcast, we have the guest of the week, the Gainesway

00:04guest of the week.

00:05In the second or third segment, we're going to do something a little bit different today.

00:08We're going to bring in Dale Romans as this week's Gainesway guest of the week.

00:12The best scenario in my opinion, which I don't know how feasible it is, but you go back to

00:17Hialeah.

00:18I mean, I was at Hialeah a couple of years ago.

00:20I just went back over there to reminisce, and I couldn't believe what good shape the

00:23grandstand's in.

00:24The racetrack's still there.

00:25The turf course is still there.

00:27It looked like a little maintenance on the racetrack, put some barns up, and you could

00:30open the doors tomorrow.

00:32Dale Romans, our guest of the week, was brought to you by Gainesway, home of the grade one

00:35winning multimillionaire and track and stakes record setter, Olympiad.

00:49Eight buyer speed figures of 100 or higher, multiple 1-11 buyers when winning the Stephen

00:55Foster and also finishing second to Flightline in the Breeders' Cup Classic.
