Scotty “Pick Six” McKeever and I drove at illegal speed along a wide Florida highway in his black pick-up truck, talking about horses. We were running late. We’d gotten lost on our way to the racetrack, which was odd, given that the entrance is marked by a 110ft-tall statue of Pegasus fighting a dragon. On special occasions, it breathes fire. We arrived at Gulfstream Park, a sprawling compound in the shadow of downtown Miami, just in time for the first race.
我和绰号“挑六”的斯科蒂•麦基弗开着他的黑色皮卡,在佛罗里达州一条宽阔的高速公路上超速行驶,一边谈论着赛马的事情。我们快迟到了。我们在去赛马场的路上迷路了,这很奇怪,因为赛马场入口处有一座110英尺高的飞马大战恶龙的雕像。在特殊场合有需要的时候,它还会喷火。我们到达了湾流公园(Gulfstream Park),这是迈阿密市中心高楼大厦阴影下一个庞大的建筑群,正好赶上第一场比赛。
