Anyone on this forum into horse racing? Over the last 2 years I've slowly become a moderate horse racing fan.
I'm still not an expert on all the betting, but on a nice day, nothing beats the racetrack.
My usual spot is the Acqueduct in Queens, NY, but I have also been to the Belmont, Finger Lakes racetrack, and I actually drove to the Kentucky derby 2 years ago.
I love that the racetrack brings together the rich and the poor, at the aqueduct in queens you can bring in a 6-pack of coors light and bet one dollar on each race until you are blasted. Or you can park your Ferrari right in front, get a private viewing both, and blow through 10 grand.
The biggest race of the year for the acqeduct is actually this Saturday, the "Wood Memorial". Its a warmup for the Kentucky derby.
Believe it or not, the Kentucky derby was by far my least favorite horse track. (and event).
If you guys haven't been, I highly recommend visiting a track.
