Not to mention overpriced food, drinks (cold hot dog and warm beer for 9 bucks).

With the price of admission, parking, racing form and premium seats, I am already down before I make my first bet.

I am not sure where you were going but do yourself a favor. Just once, go to Saratoga or Keeneland or Santa Anita or Del Mar. Go to the paddock. Watch the horses live (not on a screen). Even on a weekday, it is an amazing experience.
