-I'd love to claim a horse like Ready's Rocket
-lot's of females dressed very well, and skanks dressed even better
-the place was packed, especially the paddock area. Made me realize I don't need to go to the Derby with 100k more people
- the price gouge for parking and entry was pathetic and shameful.

All in all it was a worthwhile adventure and I love vacations where I leave with more cash than I arrived with
I went to the second night racing, and while admission was more, I thought they more than made up for it with decent priced concessions. It really wouldn't have surprised me if they tried to pull off Derby/BC prices for them.

One observation I had was that no one had a program or Form yet the lines at the window were long. Phil said they were probably betting jockeys which was pretty funny cause the next time I got in line some guy asked me what I was betting and I said the horse and he said "what jockey?"
