I'm staying in Miami Beach...I can be equally warm lying on the beach or at the pool too - with much better views!
I go many days in the winter without betting so it's not like I "need" to visit a racetrack or that I make sure to do so whenever I'm away. It's more a case of is this a special place the way Hialeah used to be or Del Mar might be, or am I not really missing anything if I take a pass on it?
