This was the first time I'd been in the Turf Club, and I'm not a fan of spending my time indoors, but they do have a really pretty set up in there, good food and the balconies to watch the races from are a nice additon. I went this past Friday night and the attendance was decent.

They really need a new odds board.

I'd never miss a chance to see Barbaro's full brother Nicanor.

well you must be down near richmond, b/c you had 2 chances to see him romp at wonderful delaware park

on turf club day, we got there early and didn't think it would be a problem to get box seats, wrong, sold out an hour before the 1st race (good for them, bad for me), ended up getting the $3 "upgrade" tickets, which essentially don't upgrade you to anything since its still first come first serve seating on the 3rd floor. Ended up working out well, found a table by the bar, and avoided the awful heat all day. where are you sitting this weekend?


DAVE-----where are you sitting this weekend?
