I've never enjoyed a single race meet more than I've been enjoying this one so far. Full fields, competitive races, and an incredibly fair Polytrack that doesn't discriminate largely against a single type of horse.

Good meeting everyone yesterday!

Anyone have any reasonably priced but good restaurants they can recommend for dinner in the area?

Can't hurt, but usually Mon-Thursdays are pretty open...Friday and Sat very busy. Tell them you want to get sat in Suzanne's section and tell her you know Bob and Lisa...She'll take care of you

Best food near AP is definitely Bob Chinn's.... best seafood in Chicago.

If you'd want Chicago style pizza, then go to Gino's East in Rolling Meadows, about 5 minutes south of AP.

I'll third this motion, even though downtown Arlington Heights has some bomb restaurants now.
