Although I was brought up at Delaware Park, Monmouth is nicer and better racing. You can smell the salt air, feel the ocean breeze. It's a really nice place. I would recommend both to any. Delaware has the great Grove. The wonderful paddock.

I was at Monmouth all day yesterday. While I like Delaware Park, Monmouth is thee adult playground now.

And speaking of sports/horse wagering crossover, I saw 4 guys wearing soccer jerseys rooting home their horse down the stretch. Probably came to watch their soccer team, then started betting the races after the game.

Thank you again everyone!

Although this Sat is the Delaware Oaks. Been real hot here, real hot. Not sure it will be a great day at track, but it should be better than it has been.

Del Hdcp is next week and Elate is running.

OK, agreed Steve. I love both places, but get to DEL more often as I get older. Both are great destinations and worth a trip for any horseplayer or fan.

They are both gems of racing and should be embraced by fans and encourage all to go there and experience it first hand. Tampa Bay and Oaklawn should be included too. Could go wider with others, because there is great racing in the US at great venues that are really trying to present a good product and good experience. Would love to get to KY Downs and looking forward to racing in VA. Would love to get to Ellis. So many places to go. PID is also very nice.

Lot's of nice places to go. Lots of good racing. I think racing is getting bigger and better. I've got like 10 millenials I know interested and betting it.

Good Stuff.
