They have to make the track more family friendly. I love the track, but I have 2 small boys. My 4 year old like going to Monmouth but he only lasts about 4 races. They have some things for him to do. I handicap the night before. Then when we get to the track, he goes in one of those jumpy things for a while, then we go to the paddock to see the horses. I make a bet and we watch the race. Then the cycle starts again, we see the clown making the ballon animals and so on. This goes on until he crashes off the sugar high from the ice cream and crap he eats. I am just happy to be there. I would love to go to the Spa this year, but the bottom line is What is there for a 4 year old to do for 5 hours? Maybe if tracks looked in other ideas to entertain kids and other family members, they could establish a different and even younger fan base. First thing they could do is shorten the time in between races!
