For me, it signals the start of an exhilarating, exciting, wonderful 5 months.
It is something not to be missed, sadly they barely get more than 100 folks attending (they do a horrific job of promoting this).
If you plan on going, I'd highly suggest it - you get a handicapping guide along with a program included with breakfast for like 6 bucks. Plus you won't have to deal with the traffic which is sure to be a nightmare as there are new roads and traffic patterns getting in this year.

New traffic patterns? Crap I just learned the old ones.
