Gabe Prewitt is a great guy and I am glad he was mentioned here. He was Mr. Pompano for their final years. Not only was he was responsible for growing their nightly handle night after night, he and the wonderful John Berry formed a very good pre-game show. Their picks may not always be too good but whose are? Gabe also did so much to promote the game. I said hello to him one day, chatted a few minutes and then invited me to his announcer’s booth. He wasn’t just being nice because I spent a few races in the Pompano booth on five occasions. It was always great watching a true professional in action. Plus he may have been one of the first to time the off time at Pompano so his track wasn’t butting heads with other live tracks and their bettors. And what a Send it in Army of fans Gabe built around the country. Great marketing and a bunch of fun. The USTA should make Gabe their President.
