This is a great idea cause there is no games on that Sunday, and people stay for the Monday/Tuesday championship game. Will be looking for something to do that Sunday and why not go get hammered at the track and chill in the sunshine
Although, with it being Palm Sunday, isn't NY and KY dark those days (racing and OTB?)
