Sekrah,

Stop by and say hello in the backyard, we are across from the FourStarDave sportsbar also known as the carousel, right behind the Avion Margarita Bar, look for the NY Giants red and blue chairs, no more ice cream stand! Richiebee, Banditbeau, Uncle Bill and I will be there among others who wander by. If your coming in from Union Ave the main gate your going right down the main walkway and taking a left at the walk of fame.

As for sights a $20 horse and a 4 digit pick 4 are always a beautiful thing. Richie will give you the mineral water tour, its his favorite attraction.

Thursday, you can park for $5 in someone\'s driveway.
Go to the box office and buy clubhouse seats. Or buy from guys hanging out near box office at face value.  Plenty of seats will be available.
Much better than hanging with TGenerates and watching races on TV.
Not that TGenerates are not content,  but you should see the races live.

 . . . since the joint is blessed with the best sightlines of any major track in America -- and it\'s not close.

I apologize for not making it out to see any of you guys but as a first time visitor the experience was unbelievably overwhelming.  We were at Cooperstown in the morning for a couple hours so we didn\'t get to the track until around 12:30.  As someone who has only been to a couple small-time tracks (Penn National and Tampa Bay Downs), this was like traveling to another planet.  Ended up finding a $4 parking lot and watching most of the races from the rail. We had a great time and even managed to hit a couple nice ones in the 7th and 8th races.

Definitely making a return trip, maybe a two-dayer where I can get in super early and explore a little more and see some of you guys.

Glad you enjoyed it. The place is like none other.
