Granted if you own a horse or have trainer friends or have "ins" to get you in the paddock etc the track can be more of a friendly petting zoo then casino but really if Saratoga wasn't Saratoga and Delmar wasn't Delmar who the F would need to go to the track.. Believe me there is nothing fun for a 12 year Rachel Mo' to do at Monmouth on a Friday in July.. Other then pet your dads horse and hope you get to scream you would much rather be doing a million other things.

Agreed about Aqueduct. But that's not the type of meet that I was talking about promoting to families. January at Aqueduct is hardcore. You mention Monmouth. Have you ever been there on Sunday when they have things for the kids to do, and if so did she like it? Things like the inflatable jumpies, clowns, face painting, pony rides and so on? My oldest is 5 and he loves it. But I think they only have those things on Sundays. Maybe they could do them for Saturdays too.
I am not saying that this would be the ideal thing for kids to do all the time. But we are talking about cheaper means of entertainment. I'm just saying that there are/could be other ways to entertain people/kids at racetracks to draw them in on days when they don't want to spend lots of money to go to places like amusement parks, baseball games etc.....
