I guess we're getting a bit off topic but it seems to me the only magical places left to see the races are Saratoga and Delmar. I went to Santa Anita on a weekday 2 years ago and was stunned at the depressing atmosphere. It used to be the kind of place that would make you move West. Simulcasting has been a money-maker (I guess), but the tracks bye and large are no longer the same.
A friend visiting Chicago called me on a cell phone to tell me Arlington was a paradise, but he once said the same thing about Stockton (Ca.) OTB.
