It was easily one of the nicest paddocks I've seen. The facility, while old has been upgraded, especially in the simulcast center and casino. I liked the quaint grandstand which puts you really close. They also added backed seats instead of concrete bleachers. They had pony rides for the kids, other small rides and it looked like a really nice atmosphere. The fans treated Mike Smith like a rock star and he was gracious enough to sign autographs and pose for pictures with fans by the jockeys room.

Almost had a county fair atmosphere.
