You can hardly find a place at GP to actually see the races live, so you're better off to enjoy a nice day at TBD and watch simulcasts of the GP races, which is what you'd be doing at GP anyway. | 
	
 I need help here.  I want to introduce my sister and niece to racing.  My sister lives just a few miles from Gulfstream, so we will meet there on Florida Derby weekend.  I am from CA and niece a vet from Maryland.  I want the experience perfecd so they will continue going to the races.  I have never been to Gulfstream.  I hear of the problems, but what is the best way to make it a perfect experience in spite of that.  Best seats, ease to the paddock--that is important--workouts?  I want the whole experience for them, but I can't check and plan it out first.  Help for the perfect weekend and hopefully new fans.
