Possibly the worst design in all of racing, certainly of any I have racetracks I have visited.

I guess that isn't a big factor to me. Even if I am on the rail at Saratoga I am watching the backstretch on the big screen and waiting for the excitement of the stretch run. At Gulfstream I can do the same thing.
