My guess with good weather will be between 50-60,000...NYRA has really done a nice job fixing the track back yard and picnic area along the rail this year! Place is really clean, they have put up some nicer amenities for food and drink for the fans too. This past Saturday they had over 9,000 for a Met Mile card and they got nice weather for that day too!

The race card is shaping up as excellent too so get out there on Friday and Saturday and enjoy the great Stakes weekend!

I stayed at the Ace in January. The rooms are nice enough, but in 22 degree weather, I couldn't believe just how many people were actually waiting to get into a lobby bar at 1:30 a.m.

1:30 am is about the time when the fun starts in Manhattan.

I get that, but the place is a funky lobby bar. It was just hard to believe that was where the cool kids were going these days.

I'm old school. Phuck these places with 200 square foot rooms and the beds on the floor. I don't need to be in a bar, elbow to elbow, with a bunch of douche bags who lie about working at hedge funds. That's an old line that doesn't get em laid.
