Roosevelt (when it was demolished my wife paid a crew member and they went up with her to the clubhouse and dismantled the box seats on the finish line we used to sit in almost every racenight for 15 years and she gave them to me for our next anniversary.  We kept them till we moved from Long Island to Seattle.  Great track and great memories as an owner and a patron.)

Blue Bonnets (went there on my honeymoon in early April of 1967; great clubhouse dining setup with really attractive young girls taking our bets at the table!! Food and racing were both enjoyable, but doubled the cost of my honeymoon.)

Green Mountain (had a wonderful trainer in New England, Billy Silk, who would handle all of our young-uns and the ones recovering from injuries... would build them up and then race them at Hinsdale and/or Green Mountain, but Green Mountain was in a much nicer setting.) 

I guess I could add a 4th now...Freehold.  Yes, it had its "issues" but Anthony Abbatiello handled my "2nd tier" horses and when I would come out to his farm we would go to the American Hotel, which had the best Mac & Cheese in the World..and then to the track.  He was a real horseman...lots of great stories and too many horses that had to race there instead of the Big M, RR or YR (or Garden State when it was open).
