At the track, do you always hang out in the same area? Do you stay in one place or go to the paddock and the finish line, anywhere and everywhere?
Now that Saratoga has the greatest place on earth with their paddock bar, there is no need to go anywhere else

Do you drink? Drink too much? Eat? Get there early for workouts and stay all day? Leave after the big race?
I'll go to workouts occassionally and go home and shower get ready. Drink a glass of wine or two -- stay through simulcast in CA

Do you cap the night before or when you're there?
Night before, for Breeder's Cup I'll start the week before

Do you have superstitions... a good luck charm of any kind?
Nope

Are you the type who smacks the form during the races and who barks out orders to the jocks?
Nope

Do you bring your kids, your significant other or go with friends? Alone?
Alone, unless I meet my favorite track buddy

How much does it annoy you when you're in line and the race is about to go off and the person in front of you has no clue what they're doing? Do you feel like you're going to have a heart attack, going to kill them, or both?
Zero patience

When you make a great hit do you announce it to the people around you? Do you congratulate strangers if they're nearby and you know they nailed whatever race?
No, I just smile to myself

Are you helpful to new-to-the-sport types or do you wish they would go the fuc* home?
Depends if they are generally interested or being a douche bag

Do you tip the tellers?
no

Do you get dressed up at all? Go to the turf club? Hang with the lowlifes? Have a table at a restaurant for the day kinda thing?
Dressed up, hate the dining room, would rather be outside enjoying the weather

Tell me what it's like when you go to the track and which track you usually go to!
