Do not exchange money at the track....you will get ripped off and pay a premium for the conversion.

Canadian currency has a $2 coin and a $1 coin....the lowest bill is a $5.......

Coach...that poutine is a Quebec thing! We in Ontario have different ways to get our cholesterol levels flying.......

I think I ate in the Northern Dancer dining room.. but I toured the whole facility (Favourites is nice.. you will have a good time) and it may be the best race track (as far as facilities) going. Its very nice and they (management) do a wonderful job @ Woodbine.

Enjoy.. though I'm bummed you wont be at Churchill as I am thinking of making an appearance.

Don't forget the Slots downstairs. I don't play em but got lucky when they gave me a $5 voucher, as an afterthought I tried it and won $200 on the cheap nickle machines.

Why would you go to Canada when the best prime rib buffet east of the Mississipp is available in sunny Charles Town, WV?

(Don't plan to be able to sit at a table though unless you're willing to play $500 minimum black jack.)
