I have never been but Hubby has. So I asked him about it. He has been there three times. Twice in the standard seats and once in Millionaire's Row (he wasn't a Millionaire at that time--but was invited). He said he had more fun when he WASN'T upstairs in Millionaires Row. Overall he says it's a very well-organized event and the Locals are very friendly and happy for the out-of-town business.
He made a profit every time he was there (Lucky bum!) by NOT betting the favorites. Stay away from "the chalk" he says. He made most of his money there on Exactas/Perfectas.
Overall? He rates the place very highly! Have a blast! |
