What tracks, that are still open, do you enjoy attending the most live? Myself, it would be Mohawk, Clinton & Windsor Fair.

I've been banded by the following:

All Stronach owned tracks and their wagering platform
All CDI owned tracks and their wagering platform
Jonkers (MGM Properties - Northfield by default  tmbz1 )
BigM
Anything owned by Bally's, was a casino incident (Arapahoe Park, Dover)
2 ex dog tracks and ex 1 jai alai

I'd like to go to the Spa again, I get VIP invites, it's been too long.

Mohawk for sure, never been, and get banded there too!   ngc3

Nicest live track experience IMO: Saratoga T-beds is probably nicest place I’ve ever been.
I’ve been to nearly every track in North America but never Keeneland, maybe in fall of this year.
Emerald Downs outside of Seattle.
Delmar
Nicest Harness tracks:
Mohawk
Grand River in Elora


Calhoun

I enjoy the Meadowlands if I could get a group of friends out. Every year there are less of us. Add in many who have lost interest & the outings are fewer & fewer.

Was there 2004 for Charity Day. Frank Salive was calling them and Rick Zeron called one too.
Got Mark MacDonalds whip. Good time, though I can't rank it as top place to watch. At least a
handful of fairs in Ohio that are comparable let alone commercial tracks.

An afternoon at Monticello Raceway sets the industry standards. No place to sit with a view. No refreshments. No Tylenol for the headache you get listening to Howard Oil and NO 4th of July fireworks. 🖕to the locals.

Harrington Raceway

Love having only one restroom for two floors!

Nothing better than sitting in Bird Shit and plastic chairs!

Having to dodge the bleachers when going outside to view the races!

No seats available most of the time in the betting parlor.

Forget about food quality. Not safe to eat downstairs. Can eat in betting parlor if you don' mind waiting 1/2 hour for a hot dog!

Programs? Have no idea where to get one. No signs anywhere!

Other than that, it's GREAT!

So, Buffalo Raceway is the "Taj Mahal" compared to Harrington?\

How is the racing surface there @ Harrington?
