Oh...and clean as anything. Probably the cleanest on or off-track facility I've ever encountered.

Ever been? Any other preferences?
I was there a couple of months ago and agree. It's a great place run by people who really care about the game.

The place next to Arlington is very good. A bunch of us DT'ers went there after Sumwon's race...gosh, almost two years ago....time flys!

I've been to most of the above except Horsemen's. Lone Star's facility is very nice, much like a sportsbook. Arlington's is nice, more restaurant-like than "simulcast facility"... at least on the first floor.

I'm glad to hear there are some nice facilities out there...

Churchill Downs!!!! You get a twin spires card and put some money on it,pick out a spot,and your wagering terminal/TV is right at your private desk.Just slide your card.You only have to get up to eat or piss.Eight huge big screen TV's are right in front of you also with all the big tracks.Awesome!!!

Upstairs is a bit more like an OTB you'd expect, though I do like the restaurant downstairs every now and then.
