That it what I can recall right now. For those NY's, particularly LI's, does anyone remember Parr Meadows?

Funny

All of those lists plus Vernon Downs

Haven't spent much time in Australia really. Spring racing in Melbourne is definitely on my 'to do' list though.

But not quite as high on the list as the trip to the Kentucky Derby the year after I finish studying. Already saving up for that even though it's still 4 years away.

Damn, I NEED this list, I might print it out and quit my job and GO NUTS on all these. Talk about some serious FUN

Tracks I've been to and desposited $$$$$.

Aqueduct, Arlington, Atlantic City, Assinboia, Atokad, Belmont, Beulah, Charles Town, Churchill, Colonial, Delaware, Ellis, Fair Grounds, Fair Meadows Tulsa, Fair Hill, Fairmont, Finger Lakes, Fort Erie, Fonner, Fort Erie, Garden State, Hastings, Hoosier, Keeneland, Kentucky Downs, Laurel, Meadowlands, Monmouth, Oaklawn, Penn National, Philly Park, Pimilco, River Downs, Saratoga, Suffolk, Timonium, Turfway, Walla Walla and Yellowstone Downs (when I was their it was Metra Park)

I am currently experiencing deja vu......anyone see this thread somewhere else?

Those of you that list Garden State Park date themselves. The one that lists Keystone really dates themself.

And Byk...what, no Timonium? It's only been running since the late 1800s. You should do an ATRAB show there, live from the state fair.

I've been to:

Laurel
Bowie
Pimlico
Timonium
Marlboro
Rosecroft (Harness)
Laurel Raceway (Harness)
Penn National
Philly Park
Delaware Park
Charles Town
Shennandoah
Colonial
Atlantic City
Aqueduct
Churchill Downs
Keeneland
Wheeling Downs (woof)
Peachtree Downs
Ak-Sar-Ben
Cheyenne Frontier Days Wild Horse races

Guess I need to get out more......

Cardus,

Yeah, Belgium was easy. I lived there for a little over 4 years. The best part was having the opportunity to visit some really nice tracks throughout Europe.

Asia and South America are not quite on the short list, but I'll get there eventually. This year's venture is Ireland, '09 is a swing through Switzerland, Italy and southern France, and '10 is a run through Victoria (Melbourne), Australia.

Scav,

It's been great fun. Been at it for a little over 30 years. Much as I love racing here in the US, it can be a little boring (left turn, left turn, finish). Hopefully, you'll have the chance to catch some racing abroad and see some really unique layouts.

I can't compete with some of the lists on here, but I haven't been into racing nearly as long as some of you (scanman's list is INCREDIBLE), but I've been to most of the "major" tracks out east..

Aqueduct
Belmont
Churchill
Meadowlands
Monmouth
Pimlico
Saratoga

I refuse to support this industry after I found out that only 5% of pups born make it to races, and the other 95% are inhumanly destroyed. And then the adaption program.


I need to get my list to your size.....

My list
 

Arlington
Hawthorne
Sportsmans (I think)
Keeneland
Old Gulfstream

Cardus, I was there many times as a kid too. My father owned two horses that raced the short time the track was open, one named Loves Little Joe and the other Lucky Mick. It is out close to Yaphank, off about exit 66 or 67 on the LIE and I believe that it still stands today rotting away.

scanman, you've got to get out more.:)

Most of the above...one time or another

My list stinks:

Garden State
Belmont
Pimlico
Laurel
Saratoga
Charles Town
Penn National
Delaware

Yeah, I'm pretty much a track junkie. I like the excitement of visiting a new/different track (adventure, setting, betting opportunities, cultural experience).

For the near future, I'm stuck in "hot as can be" Orlando. So for the next 5-6 months, we'll have 90 degree, with 90% humidity. I need to have something to look forward to. I try to get away once a month. I have about 22 "new" tracks on the schedule for this year. Heading out to Canterbury and Arapahoe next month.

Suffolk Downs
Belmont
Saratoga
Aqueduct
Delaware Park
Pimlico
Laurel
Colonial Downs
Tampa Bay Downs

Have some plans to visit the new track in Erie, PA this fall and lest I forget where I placed my first wager ever, RAYNHAM TAUNTON GREYHOUND PARK :cool:

Hmmm, ones I've been to:

Arlington
Hawthorne
Hoosier Park
Gulfstream
Santa Anita
Hollywood
Portland Meadows
Emerald Downs

You should check out Jackson. Only 30 miles from AA. I think they run through June.
