You will have a great time. My husband and I went to to the Louisiana Derby the March before Katrina, spending 2 days at the track and 2 days eating and siteseeing. We had a fabulous time and intended to make it a yearly visit until Katrina and then just never got back, but NOT because of fear. We were careful and then enjoyed the wonderful city and great food and tarrot card readers and artists and book galleries and street markets and...The racing was great. On Derby day we did get a table in the clubhouse--call the track for reservations--for a great meal and the balcony is good. The access is easy to the paddock, and the local race fans are lots of fun.
Go and have a wonderful time. I wish I were going too.
