They don't have cash/betting cards at the tracks you attend? voucher slips are too easy to wrinkle or lose. The only thing that sucks is they look like all of the other cards in your wallet and you end up handing them to someone thinking it's your credit card.

No they dont Sightseek. I wish they did, but they don't. If they do, I dont know about it. I like the voucher system. Maybe it is because I am comfortable with it.

I like the smell of horses, even the stuff that comes out of their behinds. I love to see a sweaty animal after a race. I like to see the little guys running back to the jockey room to change, its hilarious.
WHat I dont like is having to pay $6.75 for a Heineken draft served by a 70 year old man. "Wazz up wit dat bro? Word to your mudda."
If NYRA has to charge that much, the least they could do is have a pleasant college or high school girl serve it

At Saratoga you could go down to the concession stand inside around Section T and have your draft served to you by the bearded lady. Just hope she doesn't have her top button undone cause she's got a hairy chest too.

How about the miserable guy who sells vouchers in the Jim Dandy bar with the circa 1960 haircut? Just the guy you want to see at 5:45 stuck a grand trying to get out at Del Mar.
