On weekends, about an hour before post, they offer a handicappers seminar for the day's card down by the paddock. It's worth sitting in. They get good guests.

Nearby Sierra Madre has some good breakfast joints, also Colette in east Pasadena.

Our gracious host Mr Byk turned me on to the Dal Rae in semi-nearby Pico Rivera for a fantastic apres-races dinner. The Derby is pretty good too.

Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it.

If you go on a Saturday or Sunday, you can play in the $40 low-roller tournaments.

Sounds like an interesting idea. Considering my play in free contests, I probably wouldn't have a prayer, but since I would probably be playing some or all of the contest races anyway, I might give it a shot. Thanks for telling me about it.
