And a $20 admission fee to top it off.

My reason is twofold - I dislike the way that many tracks shamelessly monetize their big race days by adding an exhausting number of races onto their card. Monmouth wants to keep their fans running to the windows and then the ATM machines from noon until 6:49 PM. For our group, I think we do this for enjoyment, and with a 14 race card it can become a chore rather than an enjoyable event for players and scorers alike.

Ruff, thank you for putting the question up for a vote, even if it keeps some of us from remaining nameless. Best of luck for a repeat at the Jersey Shore.

Wow. I haven't been there in a few years, but I think admission to Oaklawn is free even on Arkansas Derby Day and if you get there early enough parking is only $2. However, some of the private residences across from the track may charge as much as $20 to park on their lawn. Reserve seating $4.50 on Saturdays and I think half that on weekdays.

There are some advantages to living in Redneckia.
