Life at the Track

A friend of mine called me over the winter to tell me a friend of hers wanted to make a documentary short at Bay Meadows and asked if I could help him get access. I didn't take it very seriously, but said to just show up with a camera. I never did meet her friend the film maker and thought the project was probably just another idea that some San Francisco artist never got around to fulfilling. Then I saw the produce of his efforts on Current TV over the weekend.

Thanks for the post, Brad. Interesting doc short as it's about the "bet" and not so much the "horse".
