if i don't go to Aqueduct i'll be there this weekend for the blue grass/ark derby.

Unfortunately, I only get down there on average twice a year.

YES- good call, one of the only racebooks that will give you top shelf with the tickets.

Is it actually worse than the Wolf Road OTB?

Palm beach Dog track - cards , dogs , and plenty of simulcasting

Surprised Kev hasn't paid this thread a visit to tout the patio at Derby Lane. Deep into a weeknight card, it's awesome....

Some of Florida's finest hanging there...

That's where all the smokers are. I take off sprinting through there when I need to cross it.

I prefer the OTB on Rockaway Ave in Brooklyn. There are Rastas with Pit Bulls outside and the most delightful bulletproof glass inside. To place a bet and watch race is a two man operation as someone has to drive the getaway car, which must remain running, should you get out alive.

The thrill of wagering on a race and an indiana jones like escape. Ahh yes....

Sounds like the old OTB on State St in Chicago - the bottom level anyways. Went there with the wife and it was like taking a piece of meat thru a zoo full of hungry lions

luckily you didn't get held up leaving the place. Robbers just jump on the El.

I've been there it's awesome.

Some of my favorites:

Friar Tuck's in the Catskills- you get the whole place to yourself.

Hinsdale NH, was great in it's prime, but we all know how that worked out.

Correct, all to us, but they still have our money.
