I like to stay at the Hilton right next to the track, easy to walk to no matter what condition you're in
The Second Race (a rescue group) has an auction going for an owners box on Sunday 9/5, a great spot to watch the races from! The bid is at $350... The box is on the finish line in the shade.
If you want to go to the backside and see the barns, send me a PM and I can help you get back there...
Have fun, it's a great track, one of my favorites!
